I’ve just set up a new account on social bookmarking site Del.icio.us, specially for Kits and Mortar related links. The account is set to post any new bookmarks here as a blogpost at 10am each morning. I guess we’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see if I’ve set it up properly! But if you want to follow my bookmarks without visiting Del.icio.us or waiting for the 10am post, you can always subscribe to the Kits and Mortar RSS feed.
If you use Del.icio.us and want to send me a link then just tag it “for:KitsandMortar” and I’ll see it in my inbox, which I promise to check regularly!
I’ve started my search for kindred blogs, and one of the first I have came across is the fabulous Shedworking, by Alex Johnson. Shedworking is a treasure trove of ideas and inspiration, with posts about micro-compact homes, a shed that looks like a Romany caravan, and a whole weeks’ worth of posts about treehouses.
Alex is clearly mining a very rich seam, as almost every post makes me go “Oooh!” There’s tons there that I want to spend more time investigating. I think you can expect a lot of inspiration “via Shedworking” here over the next few weeks! The blog is very busy too, with three to five posts a day - way more than I have time to write.
Alex also has a book, Shedworking - The Alternative Workplace Revolution, slated to come out in July and published by The Friday Project, although it’s unclear what effect their recent bankruptcy is going to have on whether the book comes out. I hope it does, because if the quality of the blog is anything to go by, the book would be a fab addition to my library. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
UPDATE 13/4/08: Alex reports that Harper Collins have taken over The Friday Project, but have declined to publish the book. That’s a shame, but hopefully Alex can find another publisher soon.
