As you probably know Josh, Bob and I were designing/hacking away on the Blender blogs last Friday. Our plan is to have one blog for each group and then group called the Blend (for now) that will basically an aggregation of all these other blogs, so that people can see what everyone else is doing.

“In the past year, the college has amassed $5.4 million in state and federal funds for its business incubator that will specialize in assisting design firms in Long Island City.”
The business incubator focuses on Long Island City design firms, but also offers help to other New […]

My ideas:
