<p>It is pretty sad how much my life depends on the internet. I got to work early today and left early, with plans on writing a couple of blog posts and working on my redesigned logo. But of course, my power went out. So right now, I am sitting Border’s, and I caved and bought an hour of internet time. Oh well. Here are a few links I found interesting this week:</p>

<ul><li><a href="http://northtemple.com/1608">The Accessibility Checklist I Vowed I’d Never Write</a>
<p>This is an awesome checklist with some guidelines to keep in mind when considering the accessibility of a site.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.subtraction.com/archives/2008/0609_investing_st.php">Investing Strategies for iPhone Customers</a>
<p>Wow, that’s a pretty powerful graph. Really shows how much the value of technology drops the instant you walk out of the store. As awesome as the iPhone looks, I would never buy it on the AT&amp;T network. The only way I would buy it were if it were available on Verizon.</p>

<li><a href="http://veerle.duoh.com/blog/comments/design_critiquing/">Design Critiquing</a>
<p>Veerle talks about a very important part of the design process: critiquing. I sometimes find it hard to say why I don’t like certain things. I guess that is the downside of not having any professional design training.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1080-you-have-to-treat-your-employees-like-customers">“You have to treat your employees like customers”</a>
<p>This is a great quote:</p>
<blockquote><p>“When employees are trusted and treated like adults, they appreciate it just as much. The result: loyal employees who want to stick around forever.”</p></blockquote>
</li>
</ul><p>I am hoping this week that I can finish up an article discussing some cool new things I found out about WordPress while implementing my <a href="http://www.thematrixfiles.net/">CEO’s blog</a>, so be on the lookout for that.</p>
