Dot. Dot. Dot.

I’ve been collecting some interesting dots recently, consuming as much as i can from the world around me. And nobody likes a gatekeeper so here’s some things, in no particular order that I’ve found that you might find interesting.

The Week: good for news 

Ground news: also good for unbiased news 

Fubiz: Good for inspiration 

Colossal: See above
