Notebook links: Money, politics, books, games and toys
Along the way this week, I saved these links for today. I'm off in an undisclosed location now, coding the new blogs. Hello from the bubble.
Show your goodness: Online photo giant Flickr giving away 10K pro memberships (to nonprofits). Story at news.com.
Grrl power: At McCormick Tribune New Media Women Entrepreneurs:
NMWE will fund three women-led start-ups that will generate new ideas in the world of news and information and model a spirit of journalistic entrepreneurship. Winners will be given $10,000 to launch their ideas and blog about the process over the next year.
NMWE seeks to map the creative assets of women and validate new ideas. It is an initiative of J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism at the University of Maryland.
Application deadline is May 1.
They're blaming US! Ten Reasons Obama Slipped at The Progressive:
8. An Improvident Trip to Rhode Island
For some ridiculous reason, Obama went to Rhode Island on Saturday to campaign. By all accounts, he was always going to lose Rhode Island. And he needed that day—just three days before the primaries—to round up more Texas voters.

Pour your heart out. There's still time to write the Letter You Never Wrote and post it on Letter I Never Sent. This is cathartic -- say it so you can get beyond it.
Wallowing in others' letters? Lotsa misery and woe.
