Friday Link Love 09/12

Sep 12 2008

I hope everyone out there has a lot of free time this weekend, because I got lots of links this week! For some reason I kept finding good stuff that I knew you would like – so happy reading!

Anyway, it has been an interesting week, to say the least. I have been pretty distracted by the Sarah Palin book banning controversy, which I posted about a few times on this blog. Even though it’s obvious no books were actually banned from the public library, I continue to maintain that Ms. Palin had it in her head that removing certain books might be something she would like to do – especially considering she brought it up to the librarian 3 times and also tried to have her (the librarian) fired.

This weekend will be a pretty low-key affair, especially considering that Chicagoland is in the grip of more rain showers. I will be accompanying my wife and some friends to a local craft fair, however. It’s always fun to see what other people are making and usually you can find at least one self-published author at these events. If I come across anything really cool/neat/interesting/funny, I’ll definitely post about it here.

With that said, I hope everyone out there on "the tubes" has a happy and safe weekend!
