In case you haven’t heard, The Great Discontent (on of my favorite blogs) has their sites set on creating a biannual print magazine! They currently have a Kickstarter going to raise funds for the project, and with 19 days to go they’re almost halfway to their goal. If you’re a fan of their site, I encourage you to head over, check out all of the rewards and show them some support.

Because it’s Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d share some of the love-themed products that House Industries recently released, including blocks, flour sack towels, valentine cards, chocolate, totes, t-shirts and prints.

Here’s an interesting online presentation: Origins of Common UI Symbols.

I’m intrigued by the concept of How to Give Half of Your Work Away for Free, a book by Matthew Manos that “aims to open-source the 50% pro-bono business model” he invented called the “double-half” methodology.
