This and That

Some links for weekend browsing:

Thanks to author Elizabeth S. Craig, we writers finally have our own search engine: Writers Knowledge Base.

Over at Books Love You I have a little tribute to The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, a book that helped me through losing my dad.

And have you ever wondered what it would be like to tour the city of Rome in 320 CE? Now you (virtually) can:

Rome Reborn 2.2: A Tour of Ancient Rome in 320 CE from Bernard Frischer on Vimeo.

Added: Forgot to give credit to Gerard over at The Presurfer, which is where I found the video link. (Sorry, G.)

Books Love You

I am heading out of town today on a road trip, so expect me to be scarce for the next couple days. Also, my chances at connecting with the internet will be uncertain at best; any comments you leave here during the day probably won't be posted until after I stop for the night.

Meanwhile, author Kris Reisz has made good on his promise to start a site with stories about life-changing books: Books Love You. He's looking for stories between 200-400 words about the books that have changed your life, more details here. Also, if you have a chance please spread the word about this project, as the more stories are shared, the more we can help others find a book that may change their lives.
