2009 media predictions

Another intriguing link via Twitter — predictions for 2009 involving what is going to happen with media-related businesses. I feel like I am not holding up my end of the Twittering bargain with all the interesting links other people post. I feel pressure to find more online articles that no one else is reading and [...]

organics

Here’s a site I came across in my organic baby products investigation. It has some really neat gifts (I particularly like the animal blankets) and they donate 1 percent of each purchase to the David Suzuki Foundation. I don’t know anything about their customer service or quality of the products since I haven’t purchased anything [...]
