Welcome, Britt! Ok, Justin, here are my opinions on this week’s link love:
First off, excellent primal chat interview, very informative (cute picture). That frog costume is the shit and I want one. Channing is my hero. I hope to learn more about seasteading but I love the concept. Free running is awesome and I can’t wait to get better at it. And that’s as far as I got pretty much, lol. All is well @ birthdayshoes.com 🙂
