Ordinarily, I only talk about things on this blog that I like. When I come across a cool video, a nifty web utility, or a slick piece of software, I like to talk about how great it is. I don’t usually complain about something I encounter, unless it’s something that means a lot to me. […]
More on Bordee
Evidently I didn’t miss the boat on Bordee. It’s only recently launched and is getting noticed. I’ve been playing around with it, and there’s something magnificent that I’ve discovered.
