moss on the path webdesignerdepot:
Get Creative To Be Creative
This is a fantastic article that helps designers to focus their attention on real life inspiration and produce unique creations under the extreme time constraints we're under. Steer away from visiting purely designer walls and publications for inspiration as it will result in just rehashing a mishmash of what's already been done. Step into new creative habits...

Buy Your Freedom

Stin's Blog:

Ever noticed what kind of food your body craves after you have skipped a meal or two? Or gone all day without eating anything but a fistful of Oreos?

Anytime you allow yourself to get: a) dehydrated, b) really hungry, c) really low blood sugar, or d) all of the above, you kiss your freedom goodbye. You become a slave to your basic needs when the tough food choices come around. Any clarity that you might have had, to make good food choices, is shot.

Making proactive food choices is the only way to truly stay free...

8 Tips for Scoring Free Airline Travel Vouchers

Airlines like money and it turns out that the best way for airlines to make money is to ensure that there are as few empty seats on a plane as possible. When a person doesn’t show up for a flight, the seat is left empty and an empty seat is a lost opportunity for revenue. As a result of this conundrum, airlines employ fancy statisticians to figure out how many seats the airline needs to overbook just to make up for the no-shows.

Unfortunately, those statisticians aren’t fortune tellers and sometimes (okay, a lot of times), their figures are off. When the figures are off, it’s still a better deal for the airline to give you a $300 travel voucher than it is to risk letting a seat fly empty.

So, how can you cash in on all of this free travel? Here are tips to releasing your inner free-travel royalty:
