Link Love: Tropical Storm Notebooks

When I started Link Love this week, I had so many clever things I was going to say about this topic or that but then procrastination took over. Then, I backed up my kitchen sink and the Roto-Rooter guy had to be called to clean it out and my ability to be observant about the kismet of weekly links completely lost its luster.

Suffice it to say, new things were released and the marketing forces were strong in specific directions this week. Like the proverbial stationery weather forecaster, I predict trends to continue in this direction for the next week or two. Take necessary precautions. And, don’t put too much garbage down your drain.
