This is going to be the first of a monthly digest of the blogs that I’m following. To make the grade, blogs will not only have to supply relevant content, but also have a snazzy design to the site.

These guys have a good grip on the industrial design community. Consider it the treehugger of ID. While I’m not an industrial designer, it doesn’t stop me from getting a lot out of this blog. Launch
