Sometimes I’m into reading long-winded articles and blogs on the line and sometimes I can get through only a few paragraphs before skimming the next few and x-ing the page out before finishing. But this week I’ve been consuming info like a wild fire ravages a forest.
And though I’m terrified of fire and even just using that analogy above, I thought I’d post a quick round up of all the fun finds and great reads I’ve found on the line this week.
