One thing that we want to do around here is help spread the word of all the amazing work that is going on out there. Some of it might be a revolutionary tech breakthrough, a researcher uncovering a new behavior in telecommunications, or a designer who mocked up a sustainable laptop. Luckily, most of it is captured somewhere on the web. The result is what we’re calling the a-List, a weekly series where we share our interests with you. Our hope is that you find it just as inspiring. a-List postings will be served up every Monday so that you have something to revisit every day for the rest of the week! Plus, if we posted on Friday, we figured you would have other things to think about, like the weekend. So without further ado, here’s the first round of the a-List:
