Design guru Gill Murrey shares the mic in this week’s WebBeet, explaining how creative inspiration can be found in the unlikeliest of places, what exactly a Drupal themer does in a large web development environment and where she buys the organic cotton clothes that she prefers for a day at the computer (hint: it’s not the local mall).

In OffBeat News, Anna Belle raves about HTML 5 but shifts gears to lament, again, the absence of women’s participation (well, beyond a thimbleful) in the open source community. And Judy ponders the meaning of all those abandoned blogs, likening them to snapshots of our digital civilization – perhaps even so many virtual pottery shards, littering the landscape in anticipation of the anthropologist’s brush to determine their meaning and significance.

So grab your hats and click on board for WebBeet 8. And check out
