Good morning, everyone! In the past 24 hours I have quit my job (where I’ve worked for 6 years), signed the paperwork for a new awesome job (yay!), and completely missed all the WWDC hoopla yesterday. It’s been a crazy 24 hours and I am so grateful that I have this relaxing Tuesday to get feeling normal again. So without further ado, here are my favorite goodies from the web today.
