Laleh Seddigh And I can't be the only one who thinks she's pretty hot, too.
Here's some photos I found on the web. These are mirrored locally so they
won't break.
It's an exciting time for Iran. The country is changing, and hopefully
moving to a more free and democratic future.
The New York Times has an
article about Laleh Seddigh, the first female Iranian race car driver to
compete against men. Scratch that, the first female to compete against men
in any sport since the Islamic Revolution. In March, she won that
country's national championship. Laleh may be Iran's answer to Jackie
Robinson.

SQL Zoo And it has a great domain name: sqlzoo.com.
The A Gentle Introduction to SQL is a good guide to
how SQL works on various databases. What makes this really cool is that
the tutorial is hooked up to eight different databases, which you can try
out queries on.

GotLogos Off BoingBoing
today, I saw a link to
Kevin Kelly's review of GotLogos. [GotLogos] provides a similar service,
but more limited (logos only, only one design to chose from) and cheaper
($25, $10 per revision).
Last year, I
linked to
Design Outpost, a site where designers from around the world compete to
create logos, business cards, letterheads, etc at low prices. It's
globalization in action, with the benefits going to people and small
businessess who can't afford to hire a designer (the losers would be
low-cost Western designers who can't afford to compete at these starvation
wages). My friend Ry4an later used the site to get a very nicely designed
business card for an affordable price.
