Have you ever wondered what it would be like to call up one of your very rich friends and ask for some startup money? Well not anymore! Silicon Valley visionaries Sarah Lacy and Paul Carr have magnanimously decided to show you what that experience is like, with a weekly segment called Why Isn't This News? In it Lacy and Carr spend 30+ minutes (I have yet to sit through an entire episode) doing everything possible to assure you and most importantly themselves that yes, they are indeed clever and hilarious people. I won't even post the latest video here because I...

It's Friday, hams, and you know what that means - it's time to read another life changing book by a blogger. This week's offering is "Homemakers: A Domestic Handbook For The Digital Generation" by Brit Morin. (more…)

Jessica Schroeder Quirk, hard worker, continues her grueling career as a pretty dress up girl.

Young House Love, professional bloggers, are doing less and less blogging. Well...less and less blogging that their readers care about. You see, after informing everyone back in April that they didn't even want all this popularity and would be "scaling back" their posting frequency, readers have become less and less gruntled - and that growing irritation came to a head after the Dynamic Do-overs announced there would be only one actual post this week on their little blog bliggidy blizzog. We hoped to have a Thursday post for you guys but this week didn’t go as planned. So sorry! Suddenly...

Brit Morin, can totally be trusted with your information, is using that $1.25 million in free money to buy boxes and supplies for her new "Brit Kit" venture. Claiming people never get around to doing all those DIYs they post on Pinterest because they "don’t have the time to go shopping for materials", Brit has decided that the way to serve humanity is by charging them money for a box of crap so they can do all those "projects we’ve showcased here on Brit + Co. as well as from around the web". For only $19.99 per month Brit will send...
