Candi.com.auI’m thrilled to announce that the side project I’ve been working on has finally launched! Ladies and gentlemen… Candi.com.au. Candi is a jewellery designer here in Sydney, and she creates beautiful, whimsical, PRETTY shiny things! I implemented her new site for her, and she’s going to design some wedding rings for us.

Another good article about how the Amish in the area where I grew up are coping with the recession. (Jayco, the RV company that is mentioned in the article, is where my stepdad works.) I’d love to check out the Middlebury Farmer’s Market some day…
