What I Read This Week: September 6, 2013
About What I Read This Week: I read a lot. All the time. Too much. I’d like to be held accountable. During my day-to-day, I keep a Google doc that I update with an article name, URL, and a quote of everything I read or watch. I blog the list every Friday.
Goodness, I’m apparently back to my old ways although not nearly as read-y. More watch-y. And considering that one of the things was an almost 30-minute tutorial on color correcting in Photoshop, I think that’s pretty OK.
