I don’t know if I’m just attuned to gender-related articles right now or if there are just lots of them. But I found these interesting:

Have a Mac and Keynote? Do you wireframe for a living? You could use Keynote for your wireframing. (I wonder if this would work on my iPad version of Keynote!)

And now: Kittens riding a Roomba.
