1. Buy a domain name
2. Set up a Tumblr account
3. Upload a photo, some copy, maybe a Google Map

Now you have a website for less than $20. No monthly charge. No commitment.

No, it won’t magically bring you 1000′s of visitors. But if you’re a small business in a town of thousands, hey, it can’t hurt.

I did this for Stroudsburg Guitar, for my dad who gives lessons in Stroudsburg, PA and it’s working great.

Found the awesome illustration work of James Wilson.

Nine lives kitty cat tshirts.

A short course on tent-free camping by Branden Johnson.

Great piece by Paul Ford, ‘When Your Favorite App Sells Out.’

I did the logo for this Lhoist album.

Maybe you’ve been following the Readability vs. Instapaper thing, or maybe you haven’t. Maybe you don’t even care!

Perhaps you just want to switch from Readability to Instapaper in Tweetbot, which is my favorite Twitter client on the iPhone. MORE →

I read ‘Why I’m not a militant vegan‘ by Jetta Vegas. I’ve become more interested in veganism, and I appreciate any non-hardline blog posts on the subject.

This article on ESPN, ‘Mark Cuban not fan of 1 and done,’ includes a good video on the subject.

Another SPORTS link, ‘Andre Iguodala can’t understand why scorers aren’t good defenders.’ It’s weird to think this guy played alongside Allen Iverson.

Listening to ‘Back to Work’ (Episode #61) with Merlin Mann and Dan Benjamin always makes me smile. I always find myself saying, “yep!” out loud at least three times during any episode.

I love Instagram, but I also love having MY photos in one spot. You might enjoy this article, ‘How To Share Your Instagram Pictures Better,’ which led me to setting up my own Instagrid.

When Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom studied abroad in Italy, and his teacher took his “fancy camera” and made him use a Holga. It’s amazing to think how all these years later our smartphones have become “fancy Holgas.”

Oh, PA: ‘Philadelphia councilman says $28K social media contract for Twitter, Facebook is justified‘

Would live in this cabin in Scotland for a few months?

This post by Kerri Lowe, ‘Everything is Free Now,’ really got me thinking and clicking. Her post linked me to Scoutie Girl and Reclaiming Wealth, two blogs that I’m going to devour this weekend.

Instagrams of Note:

turtlewayne, drawyourweapons, halrotting, lutherarts, ljudbilden

And finally, the article I read this week that most makes me want to never watch sports again, ‘This Is What Happens When You Accuse A Notre Dame Football Player Of Sexually Assaulting You.’ Disgusting.

Thank you for helping Facebook employ over 3,000 people.

New site idea: you upload all your photos, I sell ads against it, and not give you any of the money. Oh wait, that’s Facebook.

You upload your precious photos, your friends & family click through, and Facebook makes money from ads that they sell around your photos. How is that fair? MORE →
