Towson Public Library Book Sale

The Towosn Public LIbrary is having it's fantastic book sale this weekend. It starts tonight, but you have to pay a $10 fee to get in. Tomorrow and Saturday, they'll be offering reduced prices and on Sunday, books are $2 a foot!!! (Yes, they measure your books and charge you by the foot!) I went last year and they had a ton of books, fiction, non-fiction, biography, CDs, and videos. I'm betting that they have a few art books. It's deffinatly worth checking out!

Ponoko

This was posted on the MFA blog and I just thought it was so awesome that I had to post it here. Ponoko is a website where you can sign up for free, download their templates for free and use Illistrator, or someother vector drawing program to design, jewelry, furniture, whatever. Then, you upload your files to their site, pick a material (mostly acrylic and wood), pay with a credit card and they will laser cut your design and ship it to you. You can design flat pieces that can then be assembled. You can also sell your work through their site or even take someone's existing design and customize it. It's really awesome, I suggest you check it out.
