Poking around I found a great new site that Could use a lot more people in the ChicagoLand area. I haven't really checked out other areas, but seeing as it's a new site, Most areas could probably use help. It's based off of a freecycle model.
http://wwww.ecobees.com
EcoBees is a little more of a user-friendly interface than craigslist or freecycle.org. The creaters wanted to help supplement exostomg sites that do the same thing. Not necessarily take their place.
Why I find this site better? you can specify the distance you are willing to travel, without having to think of every area that might fall in that or search zipcodes, or join multiple groups if you happen to live on the edge of one.
Other perks are, you can post pictures, and who doesn't like seeing pictures of the items they are getting, You can see where on the map they are in relation to you. Don't worry, they don't give out your address on the map. it just gives a generalized location.
From my understanding the site only launched at the end of March and is doing quite well.
Great new site - EcoBees
Bloggers Rights
Sadly I have been super busy lately, and my blog has been slightly neglected. But I wanted to make a brief post and try to drum up some support for the EFF.org
The EFF has been working for a very long time to protect our rights in the digital & online world, and are starting a contest for people to go to defcon this year. A group of my friends have formed a team and we are trying to raise money, and stir up some competition, and get people donating to the EFF, not because we want to win (we are actually sponsoring part of the prize package), but because it really is a worthy organization.
Even a few dollars help.
Help keep bloggers rights going, so bloggers out there never have to worry about posting on the topics dear to them.
