Asterisk - D. Keith Robinson’s site has one of my favorite color schemes. Beyond that, he opens up some excellent topics for discussion in addition to his wonderful musical recommendations. One of the best use of Google AdWords (a necessary evil for some of the bigger sites) I have seen.
Defective Yeti - Consistently hilarious site. Great writing. Highly recommended. One of my favorites.
F-Train - Great writing. Like, really great writing. I mean, Paul Ford of F-Train could write about mold and it would be enthralling. Something for everyone here.
Heather Champ - I do not usually visit photographic sites regularly, but Ms. Champ stands out as a leader in the photo-blogging field. She has gotten me interested in pin-hole cameras and an excellent filter called a Lensbaby. However, you do not have to be interested in photography to enjoy the wonderful art that this site provides on a daily basis.
Mezzoblue - Love mezzoblue. Great design, consistently thoughtful conversations, Mr. Shea really knows his stuff. The Zen Garden, a product of the mind that built this site, is a must-see.
Stopdesign - With an absoluting stunning redesign (circa June of 2004), Stopdesign took a huge evolutionary step forward. Already an excellent blog, I know go there simply to admire the design. Unrealievable.
Kottke - May favorite source for up-to-the-minute links of interest, smart blogging, and excellent design. A must-read.
Zeldman - Few in this small sphere do not know Zeldman - author of an excellent book on webstandards, he’s a heavy hitter. New York pragmatism coupled with over nine years of service to the internet public.
Typographica - My favorite journal of typography, a field into which I occasionally delve. Typographica serves as an excellent portal to other typographic resources.
In all the time that I have sorted clothing, washed it, and dried it, I have never regarded the process as particularly difficult. Our washer is high efficiency with a large load capacity (no pesky center agitator), the dryer has a dryness sensor; it isn’t rocket science. Folding shirts used to throw me for a loop until I learned the proper use of the chin whilst folding (oh you suspected, but you did not know - a third appendage during folding does help!). Oh yes. Anyhow, ironing is not a problem either because I only burned the screen print off one t-shirt and it ended up looking rather cool: like it had been speckled with paint. I do not think I will get that lucky the next time I melt something, so I have pretty much avoided it since. Either way, I have never turned any load of whites pink and really do not think about laundry any more than the average person.
Except when I am trying to fold fitted sheets.
I mean, who likes to pull out sheets that have been hopelessly mangled by someone who has no idea how to get the damn things into nice rounded parcels? Not me. Nevertheless, I continually put up with it because I had no idea how to get those freakin’ elastic bands to cleave to my will. Years ago, I dreamt of a time when I would be endowed with the skills and maturity to successfully fold a fitted sheet into an acceptable non-lumpy object.
That day has almost come.
Yes, through the infinite power of Google, I have found a way to fold fitted sheets. I can not believe I did not think to search before - but a simple query for “fold a fitted sheet” yieled a nearly boundless well of sheet wrangling information. Therefore, I will use the instructions at Target’s Australia Website to accomplish the unthinkable. The world is my oyster!
