Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Schmorgasborg of Design Links

September 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

This week there seemed to be a lot of really good how-to’s that I came across. The exciting thing? Many of these how-to’s were things I had been wishing for, but not necessarily looking for. Joy!

August 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Well, this was an unusual week: usually I find several items to share that all relate to each other. This week, I had a hard time categorizing them. So I guess I’ll just have to group things the best I can:
