Surfing Saturday: a weekly round up of some of my favourite links on the interwebs.
Arts and Crafts
My friend Tasha was rewarded this week for her readership of The Canadian Living Craft Blog. Her comment was randomly selected as the winner of a basket of yarn. Congratulations Tasha! The craft blog is great, and this week they show you how to make picture mats using scrapbooking supplies.
Last week I needed help with a title for a scrapbook page and found The Perfect Title. Lots of suggestions for a variety of page themes.
Also with Scrapbooking, I realize that my new favourite thing to work with is brads. Eyelet Outlet has tonnes of them that I am falling in love with: Guitairs! Legos! They even have Moose! The store motto is: "Because Eyelets & Brads Aren't Just Round Anymore!" They sure aren't!
If you're a knitter and haven't joined Ravelry yet, you should! It's free to join and there are tonnes of free patterns on there. I have a number of patterns in my queue that I will one day get started: a needle case, a rocking wonder woman sweater, and the always inspiring flying spaghetti monster!
Geeky Goodness
If you dig Role Playing Games, check out Rule of the Dice, and not just because I know the dude that writes for it (it's also awesome!)
For technological news, reviews, analysis, and advice, head over to Ars Technica for some interesting reading.
And if you've ever made a website for someone or been involved in advertising, Things Real People Don't Say About Advertising is right on the mark.
Celebrity Blogs
After the recent NOTroversy over his hosting of the Golden Globes, I have been avidly reading Ricky Gervais' blog. Funny, funny, dude. And he has balls!
I recently caught up on Jorge Garcia's blog. He played Hurley on Lost and he has a new blog since leaving Hawaii (this is his old blog). Seems like a neat dude.
