Every Monday, at TIG, I write Notes from the Weekend and include a list of links, both interesting and shopping, and it is by far one of our most popular features at the site. It is also always the most clicked story in our regular newsletter, so I thought it might be worth exploring a similar feature here, but perhaps with a more personal slant, discussing the things that inform my current thought processes as I come up with content for the site throughout the week.
