So, when I destroyed a disc in my back a few years ago I went back to school and studied Architecture and Drafting and Computer Graphics for those things so that I could make money without working construction, but stay in the industry a little bit.  Then I got a job drafting for an architect and it detroyed my disc even more, so I got surgery last summer.  Since I couldn't sit at a drafting table and draft or at a PC and work on AutoCAD after my surgery, but I could stand at the kitchen countertop and work on my little macbook that I traded a few paintings for a few years ago, I figured I should finally get around to getting good at Illustrator and Photoshop.  Getting there.

Turns out there have been a lot of very interesting (to me) things that have popped up in my facebook feed or been linked to things that friends have emailed me and whatnot, so before I go through and made notes an purged, I thought I might create a post here, a compendium of sorts, of internet content that has caught my attention in the last year or so. So here are, in no particular order, a bunch of interesting articles, reviews, and even some music that are slated to be deleted, right after I spend the rest of the day reading through them and taking notes. I hope you might find something interesting, enlightening or beautiful on this list, and maybe even gain a deeper understanding and/or appreciation of my work by seeing the things ...
