I am taking what I consider to be a well-deserved hiatus from posting until the beginning of January. There’s too much going on in work/life to handle everything at this moment. My best to everyone over the holidays and I’ll be back in a couple weeks.burnt out, busy, chill pill holidays

New feature boys and girls - I’ll be posting a link from Digg on a daily basis (roughly). Thanks for the tip Robin.

This article gives some ideas on how to give a little back to your favorite bloggers. If you are inclined to give some love my way, may I suggest subscribing to this blog, dropping some comments in order to increase the Comment Love, downloading a PDF from my 1 iPod project and printing it out somewhere or go over to TerraPass and offset your carbon emissions.

Three out of the four things are free, so there’s no excuse!

Call me cynical, but throughout the years I have begun to get quite turned off from the holidays. From my observations, this time of the year has turned into more of a consumer/corporate event than anything resembling holiday cheer. Last Saturday I decided to take a couple hours out of my day to try to put things into perspective. We all enjoy our luxuries, and we all enjoy giving certain luxuries to our loved ones. Nonetheless, consider what the money used to purchase a moderately priced luxury such as an iPod could do for the most impoverished in a developing nation. During this holiday season, I decided to design some posters and release printable PDFs on this very subject. My hope is this will get me, and hopefully you, to think about what our money could accomplish if spent elsewhere…
