Just a few minutes ago, I was working on my schedule for tomorrow and I realized its been almost a month since I last shared a Weekly Mash Up<\/a> here on Evolutionary Designs. I looked at the time, and I realized that if I skipped the article this week and put it off till next week, I could actually get to sleep before midnight! I rarely get the chance to do that. <\/p>\n

So I decided to finish up my schedule and call it quits for the nights. But, I just couldn\u2019t let it go. After a few minutes I realized that I would not get anything else finished or even be able to sleep tonight until I at least wrote a small list. <\/p>\n

I thin changed my mind and decided to put together a small list of articles I read last week. Last was another busy one and I never got the chance to note what articles I read or prep an article in Live Writer for the Weekly Mash Up. So This week\u2019s Mash Up will be a short one. There are only 6 articles this week. There\u2019s one about Non-Disclosed sponsor articles, another about business cards, and some articles about freelance work. And there is one article about design this week. Although I read several great design articles, this one I feel was one worth sharing. <\/p>\n
