Apologies to anyone who dislikes the link + commentary posts as this blog is changing to that type of post for the next week or so. I'm still in limbo, but I also feel somewhat disinclined to talk about things related to real life as I try to sort them out. I'll continue to post something somewhat regularly just so people reading will know I'm still around.

Uncarrot Tarot. Someone's very unconventional tarot deck.
Color Design Rules. Some amateur template makers desperately need to read this site.

Book brawl in Canada. Heh, a reality show-type concept for books. It's interesting that I read this now since my sister called last night telling me she tried out for Canadian Idol.
