Bits & Bytes:

HERE IS A FUN WEB SITE.
Do you have too many books in captivity on your shelves? The creator of www.bookcrossing.com has designed a unique way for book lovers to share their favourites. Register your book at the site and print a label to stick in the front. The label contains an ID number and an explanation of how book-crossing works. Then ‘release’ the book by leaving it in a coffee shop or an airport for someone else to find. You can then log on to the site and enter the ID number to see where your book has traveled and who has ‘captured’ it. As the saying goes…“if you love a book, set it free…”

“Organic”, “hypoallergenic”, “environmentally friendly”. Ever wonder what those labels mean or how valid they are? Consumers Union’s Eco9-Labels web site offers free information and advice on some 90 environmental labels found on food and other products. Visit the site at:
