Here we are with only a few more weeks left in May, and we get closer and closer to the brand spanking new Devlounge design and a ton of new features. Friday Focuses will play a much bigger impact in the next version of Devlounge (slated for early – mid June), so you can continue to expect even bigger things in the weeks to come for FF. Let’s get started, and enjoy the weekend everyone!
Sites of the Week
Starting off this week is 18Seconds from Yahoo. The purpose – to get people to buy new environmentally friendly CFL light bulbs and help the world wide global warming issue while doing it. Check and see how helpful your state has been in conserving electricity and helping the environment.
Next up is The Big Noob. After being dormant for a very very long time, our buddy Ryan Sims and crew have relaunched their blog called The Big Noob. Now that they are back, I’m sure you can expect a lot of (great) fresh stuff.
And rounding out this week is Design By Grid, another niche design gallery from Every5Weeks creator, along with design help from Climax Designs.
