EDC Show & Tell, January 2016

January 3, 2016

Welcome to what I hope will be a somewhat regular feature for this year - part EDC, part What's-in-my-bag, part my special brand of awesome.

Here are links to any reviews that I have done for products mentioned in the video. Below you will find pictures of each item, and if applicable the image is linked to where you can purchase said item. (I could not set the click-through links on the images to open in a new window, sorry!) I have no affiliation with any of these companies and I purchased or was gifted all of these items myself. My recommendation comes only because I like the products and think they are worth the money.

Happy Holidays!

December 23, 2015

I'm taking a few days away from the internet to spend the holidays with my family. (I don't have much to report on the writing-front anyway...) I'll be back in 2016 with more awesomeness. Safe travels to anyone who is, and good luck with family holiday gatherings!

RSS Feeds

December 9, 2015

Hello! Just a quick note about RSS feeds now that I have separated out the writing side of my blog from the knitting. Based on a comment I received, it seems like if you were already subscribed to the RSS feed for the blog, nothing should change. You will continue to be notified whenever I make a blog post to the writing side of the site. (By the way, I don't use RSS stuff, so I'm kinda winging it here and if I'm describing things incorrectly, let me know.) However, if you are interested in the knitting and want to get updates for that, you will have to subscribe to it separately and the url for that is as follows: http://thepurlbug.com/knitting/?format=rss

I hope that helps? Like I said, it's not really something I delve into because I just don't get it. I manage the blogs I follow by saving them all to a tab on my browser and checking in periodically when I'm bored. Just goes to show that not all scientists are very computer-savvy...
