This Week: 6/14 through 6/20

Published Jun. 14th 2009

As some of you know, over the next few days I’ll be interviewing several applicants for the new writing positions at EmptyEasel, as well as working on a big upcoming feature for our foliotwist artists. (We’re in the process of adding full customization of colors, fonts, logo placement—it’s a lot of work!)

So, instead of publishing new articles this week, I’ve handpicked five “blasts from the past” for you to enjoy. If they’re new to you, I highly recommend them:
