Still cleaning out old website newsletters from gmail.... here are some recommended by the wonderful Marylaine Block in her Neat New This Week:

• FactBites - Where results make sense
http://www.factbites.com/
"What do you get if you cross a search engine with an encyclopedia?
Factbites,"

• FreeFullText.com
http://freefulltext.com/
"provides direct links to over 7000 scholarly periodicals which allow
some or all of their online content to be viewed by ANYONE with Internet
access for free (though some may require free registration)."

And last, mostly for Eric because the Batmobile is TooDamnCute:
Safe Toys You can Make:
http://www.craftzine.com/blog/archive/2007/08/safe_toys_you_can_make.html

There may be more, it's Wednesday night and thus prime cleaning and posting time...

Marc Carlson, the medieval footwear guy, has incurred my ire. I want to get back at him by flooding him with compliments on and traffic to his website. So, if you'd like to help with this, please check out his excellent website:
http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/shoe/SHOEHOME.HTM
(Be aware that the links on each section open up to further sub-links which you need to click before you get to actual content.)

In particular, there's great stuff like this:
http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/shoe2/shoeproject1.htm
(Making a more accurate 15th century style shoe)

General instructions for making medieval shoes for reinactors and others
http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/shoe/SHOEHOM5.HTM

And, if you're as impressed by it as I am, drop him and note and tell him his stuff is good. Link to him on your blog and/or website. :)
