QuakerQuaker Toolbar

January 9, 2007

A neat lit­tle ser­vice called Con­duit lets users cre­ate their own brows­er tool­bars. The new Quak­erQuak­er Tool­bar gives you Google search, the lat­est Quak­erQuak­er posts and Guides to the Quak­er Inter­net all from your brows­er. Try it out and let me know what addi­tion­al links or fea­tures you’d find useful.

Betsy Cazden’s new site

I’m pleased to announce that my lat­est free­lance project has just launched: Betsy​Caz​den​.com. There’s noth­ing par­tic­u­lar­ly rev­o­lu­tion­ary about the tech­nol­o­gy behind the site or its design, but the Quak­er geek in me is so hap­py to see it. Long-term read­ers will remem­ber my excit­ed post Fel­low­ship Mod­el of Lib­er­al Quak­ers, writ­ten after read­ing Bet­sy’s Bea­con Hill Friends pam­phlet Fel­low­ships, Con­fer­ences, and Asso­ci­a­tions. Bet­sy is one of the small num­ber of Quak­er his­to­ri­ans will­ing to take on con­tem­po­rary his­to­ry and her obser­va­tions can be quite insight­ful. I hope she’ll find an even wider audi­ence with this site and the blog that she plans to add soon.

For every parent…

“Will It Blend?” has a solu­tion for “tod­dler messes”:http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=toycars. I used the sug­ges­tion box to rec­om­mend Thomas the Tank Engine para­pher­na­lia. I’m sure Theo would stop refus­ing to pick up his col­lec­tion at night if I showed him _that_ video.
