What We’re Reading on the Web
As usual, we’ve read the Internet cover-to-cover and rounded up some of the most interesting reads out there for your perusal. Enjoy!
Coffee. News. Email. Check blog roll.
Sound familiar? We’ve all got our morning routine, and for some of us here at CDFL that includes a lot of web reading – some of it trade related, some of it tangentially trade-related, and some of it completely unrelated to our trade. Today’s special edition of WWRW is a glimpse into a few members of the CDFL team’s daily reads. Here’s hoping we don’t add too many new stops to your morning internet exploring. Happy reading!

I’m an Apple/Mac junkie, so I use Mac Rumors to keep me up to date on all things Apple.
Lumber Jocks is a site that I sometimes browse for woodworking project ideas.
Along the same lines, Wood Gears blends my two worlds of engineering and woodworking.
And finally, especially this time of year, I get excited about college football and get my sports fix from ESPN and FiveThirtyEight Sports.
The Marketing Team
Amanda Taylor, Sustainability Coordinator
I treat my daily blog reads as an escape – houses that don’t look like mine and a glimpse into lives that are wildly different than my own!
Design Sponge
The Pioneer Woman
Hannah Orlansky, Director of Communications
I try to balance out the insane number of style and design blogs I read by checking FastCompany religiously. Being up to date on industry knowledge makes me feel a smidge less embarrassed about how many blogs I read with some variation of cupcakes/glitter/stripes/peonies in the title.

The Every Girl
Cupcakes and Cashmere

Crystal Coleman, Graphic Designer
I check these to make sure I haven’t been discovered without my knowing it! Kidding – these are all excellent sources of inspiration and a guilt-free break from my own design work.
