Webgrrls comes to Boca Raton
The women’s Internet organization, Webgrrls International, is launching a new chapter in the Boca Raton/Fort Lauderdale area.
Webgrrls International is a global group for women which offers online and offline resources, offering a forum for women to network and to exchange job and business leads. As important, it helps women to learn Web-related skills.
Allison Nazarian, president and founder of Boca Raton-based Get It In Writing, heads the organization locally.
You can find the Webgrrls International website at http://www.webgrrls.com. It is part of the Cybergrrl Network of websites for women including Cybergrrl.com and Femina.com.
The first Boca/Ft. Lauderdale Webgrrls meeting will be held Thursday, May 22, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Art That Works Inc. at 270 W. Hillsboro Blvd. in Deerfield Beach.

Dell brings a bit of the beach to its laptops
Dell has teamed up with Brooklyn artist Mike Ming to give one of its notebooks a surfer’s edge.
The special edition Inspiron 1525 will feature two of Ming’s designs: “Bunch O Surfers” (black-and-white) and “Sea Sky” (color). The laptops are available for order, and pricing starts at $699.
The Ming-designed PCs are the first of what Dell plans to grow into a series of special art-edition laptops. More on Ming and the laptops carrying his design can be found here.
Computer makers have looked to spruce up their notebook designs to give them more appeal. Dell added several color options to its lineup last year. And Hewlett-Packard joined with MTV in a contest to find a design for an H-P notebook.
Apple, which has about the hottest consumer products out there these days, is sticking with plain old silver, black and white.
