If you don't have an RSS reader already, NetNewsWire is great. I love it because it compiles all of my blog subscriptions, news, recipes, etc. into one application and it has the option of saving "clippings" so just drag and drop into the clippings folder to save anything that sparks your interest. They even have a version for the iPhone. It syncs all the read and unread articles, so whether you view it on your computer or your iPhone, you're reading from the same source. Anyway, it's free and super easy to use, and great for our morgue project.
Once you get it, you can subscribe to Connected Dots. ;) (and my blog... which is pineapplesoju.blogspot.com)
Check out this site too... Miwa Yanagi. This is a link to her "My Grandmothers" series where she portrays in digitally rendered photos young women 50 years from now based on interviews. I love the concept. Japanese women outlive everyone... their average life expectancy is around 83 years old. She explores gender roles in Japan and shows how young girls have visions of their future that differ from what society imposes - the housewife who has no life outside of her family and her home.
