“The Home of Creative Living”. Let me be the first to say I’m very excited for Brit Morin to be the new Martha Stewart. Following her site for the last year has been a treat for a new home owner. This new site is going to be a must-visit.
PROTECT IP Act Breaks the Internet

In case you haven’t seen what the U.S. Congress is working on lately (hint: not creating jobs, not fixing the economy) in between voting to make sure the nation’s motto is still “In God We Trust”, please watch this video.
PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting “creativity”. The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites– they just have to convince a judge that the site is “dedicated to copyright infringement.”

Scott Berkun’s latest book is available for download for free over the next day or so. He’s a great author (Making Things Happen is a must-read for project managers) and moving into the self-publishing realm. Spread the word and support good books!
I’m pretty excited to see the Post Formats plugin (from the team at Crowd Favorite) released. I’ve been using it for a bit now on my blogs since it’s integrated into my new FavePersonal theme. I hope to see this get traction in the community…
It’s about time to start thinking about snow and skiing here in Colorado. I’ve started warming up the Colorado Snow blog accordingly with an overview of all opening dates across the state. If you ski or snowboard, this is your source for everything of interest.
This weekend is the 6th annual Zombie Crawl here in Denver. @dannynewman has done a great job organizing such a big event. It continues to set world records. Its a ton of fun to come watch, participate, dress up, wear gross makeup and very family-friendly. Check out the site and we’ll see you there on Saturday.

Newsstand for iOS 5 is live with apps
As expected, Newsstand did not “go live” until late last night when dozens of Newsstand-enabled iOS app updates were made available in the App Store. The functionality is perfect: the apps that have ‘opted in’ now appear in a custom Newsstand folder with the icon matching the cover of the periodical (if the developer so chooses). If you allow the push notifications for a new issue to arrive, the update is downloaded and the icon updates immediately. You can see both my WIRED and National Geographic magazines have updated in the screenshots above.
