I love to enter blog contests, but don’t often win. Recently I entered Fat Quarter Shop’s blog contest and won (Seriously, FQS is just about my favorite online fabric store)! The patterns arrived today and am very pleased. It’s always great to win something and to discover some new designers.

Librophiliac Love Letter: A Compendium of Beautiful Libraries | Curious Expeditions I had previously posted a link to a webpage of beautiful libraries.

It’s always a matter of finding the right tools [...]

What I Learned Today… » Blog Archive » Open Source Documentation I’m 100% behind this. My main problem/complaint about Drupal is that there are not enough readable easy to use documentation compared to other systems.

Sew,Mama,Sew! Blog » » Sewing Machine Master List Fantastic list of sewing machine reviews. I wish I could have participated, but blog was stupid. In any case the information is super.

This is what happens when you neglect the blog for a while. It all goes to crap. Oh well, as you can see the theme and graphics are messed up. Will have to investigate this further. Or might even start from scratch with a new one. I’ve been neglecting upgrades and now it’s come to [...]

Lawmaker plans bill on Web neutrality – Yahoo Canada News Before taking FIS1210 (Information and its social context) I have only heard of Net Neutrality but didn’t understand what it was about and what was at sake. Too busy to come up with the full list of resources I wanted to share regarding Net Neutrality, [...]

Nothing helps cement a new identity more than business cards. I didn’t have the time to design my own this time around, so I went for one of the prepackaged sets from moo that was me. It came right at the estimated delivery time last month. I’m all set for the next networking opportunity.

Spread Firefox | Download Day 2008 Download day is tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the new version of Firefox.

SitePoint CSS Reference Looks like a nice site for CSS info. Bookmarking it for future reference. Don’t know if it’ll replace my handy CSS reference sheet. Sometimes, it’s still easier for me to refer to paper than look up something online. Especially when I’m testing with a lot of browsers and browser windows/tabs open. It [...]

[via] Information Architects Japan Web Trend Map 2007 Version 2.0 Information Architects Japan Web Trend Map 2008 beta I particularly enjoy the explanations of the inside jokes, which are very entertaining if you have some understanding of Tokyo and of Web Trends.

Another good one from xkcd. One does wonder what type of knitting accident you can die from….But I’ll resist the google.

May has translated the circular shawl instructions on her blog for a pattern I’m waiting to work on from a recent Japanese Knitting Book purchase. I’m so lucky. Thank you May!!! And yes, It’s quite strange to know another May.

This is so addictive and fun.[via]

I’ve been quite behind in my blogs reading lately….Found this little gem which was from a while ago. [via] Chinese Culture Versus German Culture I’d say that while the project is to reflect between German and Chinese cultures, it’s pretty accurate to what I’ve seen here in North America (the German culture as reflective of [...]

Knit Picks Knitting Room » Different Color A very nice graphical guide on a number of different colour yarn join techniques. I’ve seen many instructions for the Russian Join and never was inspired to use it. But this time, these set of really nice photographs have inspired me. On my next joins, I’m going to [...]

The World’s Biggest Stash? at Mochimochi Blog[via] My mouth was open for minutes and minutes as I look at the photos over and over. This is a wicked stash!

Walk Score – How walkable is your house? [via] A fun website. My current address is 53, my parents in the burbs got a higher score than us. But it’s a better established neighbourhood. And my old address in NY, 98 out of 100. I did love living there. Very walkable. Website seems to be [...]
