Yesterday while flying from Dallas to Minneapolis, I listed to the Design View Show #8 podcast. The Design View Show is a weekly podcast by Andy Rutledge that looks at design and the business of design.

According to Wikipedia there are an estimated 10.5 million American men who are red green color blind. I am one of them.

The conference was truly rich with inspiration and it has been difficult to visit all the links without clicking a couple time and becoming distracted.
