I love conferences. I know lots of people may find them either boring or completely exhausting, with all of the different sessions and group meetings you have to fit into your already over-booked schedule. However, I love the idea of meeting with thousands of people who are passionate about something. Whatever the conference is, the attendees [...] -

Last week I set up a Google Reader account with mixed emotions. I think this program is great because it sends all my favorite blogs straight to one page. However, I was skeptical of the fluidity in reading about diy wedding crafts one minute and then the death toll in Somalia the next, followed by vegan [...] -
