i’m off to new orleans to attend the society of american archivists national conference for a few days – definitely going to be taking pics, but don’t know what kind of posting i’ll be able to do (but hey, if i could do it from sicily!.. ) and then i’m home to maryland, with a lovely wifi setup, for ten days.

for now, some links that have caught my eye:

• ~ online library – kinda like netflicks, but for books. we’ll see how long this lasts before book publishers freak out.

• ~ although i’m not much of a sewer, i do like this list of bag patterns, all free and most with pics to boot.

• ~ i’ve been helping out with christine’s (of lelah fame) new site and been having fun with fonts: identifont, dafont, and 1001freefonts – that last site is designed ugggggly but has lots of great fonts.

• ~ making green roofs simple – i love the idea of green roofs. wish they were required in los angeles. (here’s more).

i get on a plane in two hours, my hair is full of hair dye, it’s 3 am, and i’m still trying to decide whether or not to take my denise needle set. but hey, at least i’m leaving my cats with brand new cat litter. and tonight’s final project presentation for my IA class went great, yay. phew, no classes from now till the end of september – thank goodness.

hope everyone’s day is beautiful!

and cross your fingers for me that east coast – and louisiana – humidity don’t make me look like a dandelion.
