Finding A Bigger Pond

Of course, we love dipping in to all of the 'we love' list of links over on the right.  But all we've done for our LOVE Blog is copy the links from Russell, or WKLondon or Gareth etc, which probably makes us a bit 'planning' heavy.  That's no bad thing, but I think we sub-consciously write about similar stuff as a result. As an attempt to break out a little, can anyone suggest some useful new links?  As LOVE is all about 'ideas that make the world less ordinary', I guess our interests are quite broad - just anything that is fresh, funny, interesting etc in design, digital, science, technology, sport, events.  Anything really. Maybe we'll all discover something new.  Thanks for your help.

My friend Martin writes a brilliant music blog, http://www.shullovox.com. He's as well of an expert on music culture as Russell, Seth, Gareth are on planning.

BTW, it’s Thanksgiving day today in America. So Happy Thanksgiving!

Of course. We have to put ourselves out there to be successful. Being in a small pond does make us feel good because the competition is weaker in there and we get more attention but the room for success there is also small. The bigger the pond is the larger the room is for growth.
