Websites I like, also in alphabetical order
Anna NYC, where clothes come from
David Rees’s Artisanal Pencil Sharpening
Cats That Look Like Hitler dot com
Oxford Dictionaries’s list of collective nouns for people and animals. (If you are wondering why this is is here, exactly, if this list is alphabetical, it’s because I think of this entry as being entitled Collective Nouns.)
Cute Overload dot com
I Can Has Cheezburger dot com; changing the English language, one caption at a time.
Ilga Leja, beautiful knitting patterns and hand-dyed yarns. I actually have a co-credit on her pattern for the Lake of the Woods shawl, which I adapted to an extra-small (i.e., Emily-sized) version while knitting it.
Knitty—“Little Purls of Wisdom”
Lehigh University’s online library of 19th century bridges
The San Diego Zoo’s Panda Cam
Sonnet Media, where in my opinion all authors should get their websites built
Women’s Law dot org
A few interviews you can listen to or look at
A live interview with Joe Donahue on WAMC’s The Roundtable, August 2010
An interview on WNYC’s Leonard Lopate Show, May 2006
An interview with Jeff Miller, Director of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, July 2007
An interview with the super smart Aaron Hamburger on Small Spiral Notebook, from 2006
An interview in Gulf Coast with Dominic Smith. You’d have to get hold of the physical magazine to read this, but it’s worth going to the library; Smith is a fine novelist in his own right and asks really interesting, articulate questions.
