25+ , Vol. 1 - January 2008

The first issue of 25+ is done and out. The blurbs I collected are below. They are gathered from online magazines, creative ad sites, blogs, and more.

You can get them sent to your inbox, too - every 25th of the month. Just let me know. And, there's a "flake off" opt-out in each one, too!

Enjoy where the clicking takes you...
