How was your 4th? Did you blow lots of things up?

Today is Friday, right? šŸ˜‰ Holidays in the middle of the week always throw me off.

One thing that helps is that I theme my work days. That just means that I group my different types of work by day. Some days are client work days. Today is my day to work on my internal projects and experiment with tech tools.

Enjoy this weekā€™s finds.
