Springwise for 10-23-2008 | your window to a world of opportunities

Springwise has changed their email newsletter format -- see below. I clicked through to the "crafting blueprint" story -- I think it's interesting because I remember doing models as a kid and the fun I had doing them. Of course, this is before the world of video games, internet, home computers and 100's of TV stations [kinda shows my age doesn't it?]. Enjoy the stimulation and remember, we all have success hard wired into us, maybe one of these ideas will start you down the road. Enjoy.
