TThor - Issue #21

Hello!

I hope everyone had a great, productive week. We had the rare opportunity to do something fun this week and took the girls to Disney on Ice. I would recommend it to anyone. There is some great reading to be had in this issue. The first link from Boing Boing is highly recommended, as well as "Front-end Style Guides" in the design section. As always, if you enjoy TThor please pay a quick visit to our sponsors.

Thanks,

-Tory
