For most of the year I’ve been slacking on the Around the Web Digests and only doing them every other month. Might as well try and turn that habit around in the summer time, you know? Set a new groove forward into the fall. You can get tweets from Savage Minds on a pseudo-daily basis by following us @savageminds or liking our Facebook page. If you’ve seen something around the web that you’d like to share with our online community email me at [mdthomps@odu.edu].
