Started by former fashion insider Scott Schuman, the Sartorialist (or SartoriaList) is a compilation of photos taken of very well-dressed regular people on the streets of New York, Paris, Milan - all the jet-set places to which Schuman travels. It's kind of like thumbing through the pages of Vogue Italia but without the advertisements. And it also kind of proves that fashion isn't about what you wear, but how you wear it.

While putting together a website mock-up, I needed to figure out what font I was looking at so that I could reproduce it elsewhere. I googled and found My Fonts' 'What the Font' feature (http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/). You upload an image of the font, and the feature helps you identify it. It got Bodoni for me but not Slash Hmk, which was a bit more complicated. So obviously it's not perfect and might not get you what you want, but it's pretty neat.

For those who are looking into Preston University for a degree, do so with caution. Preston engages in questionable practices, according to various sources online (find out for yourself if you google "Preston university scam" or "Preston university fraud").

Yes, Preston is based in Alabama in the United States, but it is so because it is not allowed to engage in its brand of business in some other states with higher standards for education.

For more information, I recently wrote a blog post for Sitejabber on for-profit universities and institutions like Preston: http://www.sitejabber.com/blog/2010/08/22/online-diploma-mills/

This is a great idea. Everyone finds things laying around their parent's house and thinks or says out loud, "How does this fit into the whole schema of things?" With parents from Asia, it's more likely even to get a little bit of the old with the new, the American with the Asian, the giant Buddha next to the Frank Lloyd Wright piece. It's all very cute, and those kinds of things are featured on this website. Let's face it, our parents are weird, and they're also so tired from parenting us that they don't even care about continuity, consistency or feng shui anymore. Let's celebrate that weirdness and publish it for all the world to see.

Not as good as the books, but still entertaining, the Freakonomics blog at the NYTimes offers some little tidbits and insights into the phenomena of our times, in behavioral economic terms. Unfortunately there isn't enough of a Steven Levitt presence and the articles are too short for me to pay attention for long.

I actually haven't looked at this website in great depth. It bills itself as a TED tribute website (independent of TED). By collecting talks that are along the same lines, it supposedly makes it easier to hear talks that follow a sequence or the same topic. I think TED might do a better job of that though.

On this website, I was able to find a video on the battle between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex in the teenage brain. It was the exact thing that I needed for my class, and the video was appropriately short for the teenage attention span.

I used Spyguys math lessons with one of my boys with Asperger Syndrome. Spyguys is a product of learnalberta.ca and was perfect for that particular student as the lessons are very specific, providing a comprehensive lesson and an adequate amount of practice exercises. For some students, you may consider padding the lesson with more practice. http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mesg/html/math6web/math6shell.html

Oh how I love Into The Book, a project of the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board. The website provides resources (lesson plans, videos, interactive series of activities) on the 8 researched strategies for reading comprehension. The website can be accessed for free by students and by educators and the ideas for each strategy can be applied to reading comprehension and content areas.

My friend Ario tweeted this. I thought I'd give it some more exposure. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Make-Something-Cool-Every-Day-2009/*******
This guy made something "cool", interesting, rather, everyday.

When you get tired of your regular websites or have exhausted all they have to offer, but are looking for something along the same lines, insuggest.com is a fairly decent tool to use to find websites similar to your favorites. It seems to still have a limited range as I end up getting the same recommendations but is a neat idea nonetheless.

If you are a hipster who doesn't take yourself seriously, you may find this website mildly amusing. Unhappyhipsters provides clever captions to photos of modern people existing in their post-modern spaces. I think all of these photos come from Dwell magazine, and most are so funny that even my architect friends find humor in them.

Trailermash is similar to Fanedit, the website that Chris O. Reviewed, but I think the Fanedit folks have more time on their hands. Trailermash collects edited and mashed up trailers. Good stuff.

For educators, Enchanted Learning is much like Edhelper but even less organized, if that's even possible. The subscription is $20 a year for downloads of worksheets, mini-books, units, etc., but if you already have Edhelper (which seems much more extensive), Enchanted Learning is basically unnecessary.

This place looks sketchy, but it's actually a good place to get your vitamins and supplements. You can find nearly any kind of supplement you're looking for, and for cheaper prices than GNC. Shipping prices are reasonable. The most impressive aspect of this company is in its dedicated customer service. If there's a problem, they'll call you, and when you call them, there's always someone available to respond. One warning: this is not the place to go to research products. Every product description will boast of making you into Hulk Hogan. But if you already know what you need, the prices are good and the customer service is excellent.

Colorincolorado.org is an excellent resource for Spanish-speaking families and teachers of English Language Learners. It has a wealth of articles, resources, guides, etc. for parents and for teachers to communicate with Spanish-speaking parents. It was created/funded by the American Federation of Teachers and has the most up-to-date research on reading instruction for ELLs. I often go to this website first if I need to find Spanish articles on testing, reading as a family, etc. to send home to my families. Everything is in English and in Spanish.

I'm not gonna lie, my friend/former college roommate is one of the two women behind this business of creating adorable organic cotton t-shirts and onesies with original felt designs. I bought 2 onesies and a shirt from Kandle Kidswear recently for some friends' kids, and although these clothes are admittedly not my personal style (I don't do onesies anymore), I was really pleased by how well-made and very cute these pieces are. More importantly, my friends loved these gifts. I'd definitely buy more of them in the future. Kim and Laura, the owners, are great to interactive with and responsive. As well, you can tell they put a lot of care into each piece.
