 Have you heard about Second Life? It’s an entire 3D virtual world on the internet. (Addictive as all get-out.)

Kristin’s Crafty Leftovers blog, if you didn’t know, offers project sheets … Read On! There’s More!  So I got to playing with my Google customized homepage (which is a way-cool thing, I recommend checking it out). And I ran across a widget that presents me with a random color scheme each day. it’s just a small series of color swatches, presented in a row, and bearing an enticing name. (Like, … Read On! There’s More!  Happy New Year, everyone! I’m spending the first day of 2007 doing battle with two web projects, and dreaming of crafting instead.
