Squaw Valley with Lake Tahoe in the distance
I’ve had a good week, but wow, it has slipped by fast!
Last weekend I was up in Lake Tahoe, at Squaw Valley ski resort cheering on my friends who were taking part in Tough Mudder NorCal. It was incredible, and I was so proud of everyone. They all finished, and boy it was a tough course. If Tough Mudder is coming to your city, think about taking part!
So, onto the variety of websites I’ve been digging this week…
- ProBlogger outlines some new productivity tools to simplify your online life.
- Surreal light illustrations. Love these!
- This is a great round-up of why spec work is bad. If you’re a designer, or have worked with designers, you need to read this!
- Creative illustrations with a twist, mostly featuring storybook characters.
- Struggling with getting traffic to your website? Here are 4 creative and easy ways to attract more visitors.
- I ove these cutting-edge batteries, may with unique and inspired methods of charging.
- There seems to be a few new lorem ipsum (dummy text) generators doing the rounds at the moment. The newest one I’ve seen is Samuel L. Ipsum – placeholder text from Samuel L. Jackson’s character in Pulp Fiction. You can choose from Classic (NFSW – lots of swearing!) or Lite (curse-free).
- Are you learning CSS? This Online CSS Sandbox is a great way to mess around and see the results.
- Learn how to turn a milk jug into a sandwich box – brilliant way to recycle!
- I often get asked where to find help for WordPress. If you’re always wondering how to get help, Digging Into WordPress has put together a guide for WordPress support.
- This photograph of the southern lights from space, taken from the International Space Station, is incredible! And I thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime thing to see them from Earth…
- Something funny to finish – the 10 best Amazon reviews ever. My favourite is the one from the Lego security checkpoint. Hilarious!
Alright then, see you next week!
