I'm contributing to blogs I passionately admire — after learning so much from them, I feel compelled to share as ideas drift into my head and start to gel. Sometimes these ideas cling to the sides of my mindspace and I go, "AHHHH IDEA! I MUST LET YOU OUT. GROW WITH ME, THEN HELP SOMEONE ELSE!"
It's with much rejoicing that I'd like to share my freshest contributions to 3 of the top blogs on thar Internets:
