Crafty New Etsy Store!
Take a look around Ivyteakettle, Kate E. Austin’s Etsy’s shop.
If you’re into art- and eco- friendly design, she offers both. Here you can find various kinds of jewelry, eco-friendly bags, and “Plarn” (plastic yarn made from shopping bags) which, as seen on her plarn page, can be made to make your own eco-friendly fashion.
If you can’t get enough of Kate’s work on her Etsy site, visit her website to view her other artwork and learn more about her.

Get in on this up-and-coming community for entrepreneurs and businesses before it launches!
There are a lot of forums out there with strongly vocal members, but there are few available for professionals to connect and share ideas and advice with one another. There aren’t many members yet, as the site hasn’t been launched yet, so business owners have an opportunity to stand out as early adopters of this exciting new forum.

Northamptonist's geo/audio project
Northamptonist is an excellent, often updated blog about local issues ranging from politics to street art in the town of Northampton.
They are currently engaged in a fascinating project called the Community Audio Recording Project, in which those wishing to participate may call a telephone number and leave a message up to two minutes in length. The audio file is then geotagged and linked to on a Google Map.
This art-project-meets-documentary-meets-geocaching is right up my alley.

Talk about inspiring.
This hand-picked consortium of contemporary visionaries brings together skills and resources to further collaboration and betterment on a global scale.
Better yet, each year three of the presenters are selected to receive the award. And their acceptance speeches are put in the form of appeals for action and change: “wishes”, if you will… at which point all the attendees put their incredible talents and resources together to make those wishes come true.
Technology. Entertainment. Design. And lots of awesome.
