Honor Roll

Have you seen the New York Times’ Snowfall article? It’s an interesting presentation — one that is really inspiring me right now. (My Honor Roll posts — like this one — were my first experiment with a different post format. I’d like to do more, experiment more.) And here’s what it means, for the NYT and the rest of the internet, moving forward. [via Laure Joliet]

Something else inspiring: Slow Blogging. So many of us seem to be heading in this direction, happy to slow down the frenetic pace of everything. I like it.

Blogging and self-promotion.

Blogging and getting paid. (I don’t agree with all of Holly’s points, but it’s still a good read.)

All right, it seems like everyone is getting awfully introspective as the year comes to a close. But tell me, how do you really feel?

For those about to Mingle Bell Rock, I salute you. (And again, from another perspective.)

I put together 5 looks for New Year’s Eve, and each complete outfit is under $100. (Also, hello Alt Summit attendees — you may want to take a peek!)

Want to pick up something more for the kids, but not another toy? Here are the best books to give.

And speaking of books for kids, have you seen these literary board books? Brilliant.

Make your keyboard happy! Would you go for the DIY washi tape version, or the ready-to-go decals?

Sweet Paul’s Holiday Countdown is pretty wonderful.

I’ve been testing out a new camera, which I have now come to think of as the Instacamera.
