I’m officially in love with RSS feeds. No tool has better helped me stay current and up to date with news and interesting daily information better. For example, this morning, within 5 minutes of being at work, I knew that the voting polls in Memphis were already screwed up, Woot is having a one day deal on steak knives and Seth Godin is still talking about effective marketing, all from the sidebar of Internet Explorer. One of my Feeds, Apartment Therapy, gives useful, daily information on design and art for homes. Living in a condo and working at an architecture firm, this blog really makes sense to follow, even if I’m a big, trucking driving, man’s man, type of guy.
Today’s feed showed four sources for independent art which I thought were really fascinating. Much like a starving artist sale, these websites feature independent and inexpensive art. Here’s the links.
Each has a slightly different spin but all accomplish the same thing. Take something that’s not scarce (independent art), and provide it for reasonable prices with some sort of extra, philanthropic, make you feel good spin, thrown in. Increase demand by appealing to social agendas AND people’s wallets. Hey, it got MY attention.

Can I borrow some money?
Didn’t we go to a starving artist’s sale together before we ever really hung out?
