New

Interesting Links
-------
The first link I am totally jealous! It is what I had hoped to bring forth with the ArtyWiki. But they have done an amazing job! Instructables

http://www.instructables.com/forum/E3W7VC6A9WEXCFFIBC/

The second is one that I heard about last year on diggnation.com and I have been watching from a distance to see how well it would go. It is no secret to those that know me that I love LOVE LOVE my Alphasmart. But I am wondering about trying this out for an inexpensive portable word processor.

If you do not follow the link, know that it is a $100.00 laptop. Originally I heard that you have to purchase two at a time, where one will go to a child in need. They are bare bones, and come in neon colors, but would totally meet the basic needs of a writer. Another interesting feature is that they are designed so they can be charged up through human power, aka a generator. This would make it so that children with no electricity could use one to learn. Worth keeping an eye on the program!
----------
Personal
----------
BTW a new book, articles and a possible new zine are in the works.

On a more personal side I will not be as productive over the next couple of weeks, producing free lessons and tutorials as I have been in the past months. June is the first ScriptFrenzy event and I am a Municipal Liaison for the Chanute, KS area. http://www.scriptfrenzy.org

Although I have never written a script before, I see it as a good way to stretch my boundaries a bit and the more writing I do the better!

I will still be adding things to the site, just not quite as often over the next 6 weeks or so...
