Lots of great resources and links to dig into. Thanks Kristi.
.-= Mike´s last blog ..Gmail – 45 Timesaving Keyboard Shortcuts =-.
Those macro photos of insects almost make insects look appealing – I still think they’re gross and will squash them as needs be.
The SEOMoz post on “30 SEO Problems” has been bookmarked: that looks like it is very valuable stuff, just hope I can put it to use.

Hey Kristi,
Another gem. Thanks for the link love, always appreciated. Lifestyle design is really something important to me. As for the video, that was amazing, I just couldn’t believe I didn’t think at this first. Exercising outside, what a bliss

Thanks Kristi for yet another compilation of wonderful resources. You really have a way of picking the best of the best, so I’m honored to be included in this wee’s mashup.
One of my favorites was “70 strange photos that are not photoshopped,” but there were so many others that I enjoyed. Keep up the good work.
.-= Nea | Self Improvement Saga´s last blog ..Are You Journaling for Self Development Success or Failure? =-.
I would have to agree with Nea, as the 70 strange photos was my favorite as well. Those were some really cool strange pics over at 10steps and there were a lot I hadn’t seen. I thought the perspective ones with the clouds and such were pretty neat and even though that is done a lot, they were still really original.
