Life has been busy, and I know I always say that, but over the past month it’s just been crazy. I’m at the unusual point of being between blogs; when I’m blogging less frequently here it’s usually because I’m ill or writing for a company’s blog. But over the past month I’ve done no blogging at all (!) short of starting a few posts here only to leave them unfinished.

I have a lot of semi-finished things at the moment, in all aspects of my life, and I’m desperate to get something out there, no matter how small, so here it is. A list of interesting things I’ve found on my travels around the web.
