I think Karl called lists “the mainstay of lazy blogging”, or somesuch. They are, I love them. Here’s another, this time of random sites that I have in my bookmarks folder and may be of interest.
Make and Do
- http://www.thing-a-day.com/ — This is where I stole the idea for this blog from. I never remember to sign up for it whenever they do the whole sign up deal, but it’s bookmarked just in case.
- http://www.instructables.com/ — DIY extravaganza, including section on manly crafts, phwaor huhh and other manly noises.
- http://etsy.com — Sort of like ebay but with homemade crafts. And possibly not an auction, I don’t know cos I’ve never bought anything. I just like looking at what people make. The picture above is of a handmade hand printed birdcage bag, from tabidesigns on etsy.
- http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/ — More craft tutorials, pretty layout.
Sites I found when procrastinating writing college essays
- http://irishgothichorrorjournal.homestead.com/ — Does what it says on the tin. Online only journal of essays and reviews of gothic and horror books, plays, films etc. Lots of links as well if you’re into that kinda thing.
- http://www.scribd.com/doc/8966/Free-eBook-Navy-Seals-Workout — Ebook of what the Navy Seals do to train. I will do it. One day. Maybe tomorrow.
- http://www.foodtimeline.org — Food through the ages. Pretty bandy lookin website, but the contents quite interesting.
- http://psd.tutsplus.com/articles/inspiration/teach-yourself-graphic-design-a-self-study-course-outline/ — Links to websites/ebooks/tutorials to teach yourself graphic design. Interesting.
My computer is slowly disintergrating, and as my mouse has decided to stop working I shall leave it there. Happy surfing…
