Project M

Project M is a brilliant project and initiative. They have a brand new website as well.

We are part of a design movement. We believe that ability equals responsibility. And we are not the only ones. So, we built a lab where designers like you can make a difference. We are building the tools that will build the future. And this is where you come in.

Thinking for a Living

Thinking for a Living is an amazing online resource that you need to check out, they recently had a redesign of their site which includes a new blog.

Here I offer you a collection of recommended readings and online links that I have gathered over the years from various reliable sources. Together they illustrate the wide variety of tools modern designers have at their disposal and the breadth of influences we should have. My hope is that these resources will help guide you in your own research and growth as a designer. You should find your own priorities within my list of suggested resources, but you should also find a balanced offering of content as a beginning for your own explorations. What began as a short talk evolved into a print piece, and eventually, this site. The Thinking for a Living series is an ever-growing platform dedicated to the concept of open source design education.

New Feeds

This morning I decided to subscribe to some new blogs, seeing that it is summer and I have a little more time to do some good blog reading.

Jeff Croft
Joshua Blankenship
Jeffrey Zeldman
Jeremy keith (Adactio)
Paul Nixon (Nixon Now)
Bronwyn Jones (Present Imperfect)

Where did I find this blogs? Several I had been to before but never subscribed to and the others I hadn’t been to ever. I ended up subscribing because of Twitter where I found this people and I have been following them.

Any other blogs you think I should add?

New Blog Address

I have decided to move the blog to www.blog.ethanbodnar.com

The feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/EthanBodnar

EthanBodnar.com will become a gateway to all my other sites and places on the internet. I choose to do that so that I may have more creative control over the website. I haven’t figured out how the search engines will index it. Any suggestions/

Welcome

Hey, it is good to see you here. Im Ethan Bodnar, a 16 year old, who is blogging about the internet, design, ideas, the arts, life, and more. Here is my story…

A year and a half ago I discovered blogs and the new internet. Since that day, I have read many blogs and have explored the new internet made up of web application, communities, and people. For a year I have dreamed of starting a blog that I could call my own. This place would be where I could share my stories, thoughts, and ideas with people. Well, here it is. Thanks for coming.
