The Toronto Star has launched a digital archive of Ernest Hemingway columns.

The state of Indiana has launched a new online tool for finding child care options.

So there’s this guy, Brian Ellis, and he’s putting together what sounds like an amazing Audobon site. “The website contains biographical information and time lines regarding Audubon, who lived between 1785 and 1851. Research papers about Audubon, authored by college professors, are posted.” Ellis apparently performs as John Audubon. Some pictures on the site.
