Did you know that Jax has a Marina Mile?



I just found this post about Jacksonville's Marina Mile, while scrolling through articles and responses over on MetroJacksonville.com, one of my very favorite websites for local Jacksonville news and views.

Speaking of boats, there's a cool article about Steamships in Jacksonville on MetroJacksonville.com too.

My first website was a Geocities site



Interesting article here about the death of Geocities.

I used to host Purplebike on Geocities back in the day.  I wonder if it's still around somewhere?

Goodness gracious, I hope not.

I entered my zip, and found 44 locations nearby that offer Wi Fi.

Some are free, some are not.

At any rate, this is mighty handy!

Conversation Starters: Ethics @ The Consumerist

(Screen shot taken 10/19/09 from: http://consumerist.com/tag/ethics)

Someone emailed me a link to this article today. Good conversation starter...I think I'll use it in class this week.

Who knew The Consumerist had such a wide variety of articles categorized under their Ethics tag?

I didn't. But now I do.

(Thanks, J!)
