• Inspiredology launches a fun redesign (anticipate some mad scientist quirk!)
• This might be the best read you read this week. “A Real Web Design Application” (via @jasonsantamaria)
• A fun find on Pinterest, Art & Design – Type & Love
• 5 creatives of the female variety, all based in Chicago, have united as @quite_strong (you’ll enjoy the quirktastic Twitter background) & indeed they are worth a follow, great things are ahead from this group

Wildcard: Trent Walton shared a little tip on how he and @yarcom design rounded avatars on Design-Swap, and a bonus? Dan Mall & Brian Hoff have swapped!
