A friend came over this morning and noticed, “Gee, you have a million tabs open.” Which made me think, “I should do a post on every tab I have open on Monday morning, every monday, just to show how wonderfully unproductive I can be.”
1. http://qmixalot.com/certified-spirits-specialist-css-exam-faq I was thinking about making a run at the CSS exam, started doing some research
2. http://kaufmann-mercantile.com/press/a-conversation-with-bureau-of-trade-founder-michael-phillips-moskowitz/? I love Kaufmann Mercantile, they have some really cool quality products. I am going to order this Belgian Linen; then I have to figure out why I need it / what to do with it
3. Ryan Holiday’s Newsletter is open in my gmail. I share his love of the book Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius. (which inspired one of my tattoos actually)
4. Smitten Kitchen (Banana Nutella Bars)- I subscribe to the mailing list. Such creativity and great recipes. Awesome photography as well.
5. http://kurtelling.com/ I was looking up Kurt’s Tour Dates; I am a huge fan, I think he is the best male jazz vocalist out there. Downbeat Magazine agrees
