LinkSwitch – A Roundup of Great Links Across the Web
Cyan Ta'eedTime for a roundup of useful links from across this beast we call the world wide web:
Brett Farmilloe runs PursueThePassion – a blog about doing what you love. I am incredibly jealous as he gets to travel around the US in three weeks conducting a series of interviews with people who do what they love for a living. On last years journey he interviewed two freelancers – Rick Farmiloe who is a successful illustrator (and drew Abu in Aladdin for Disney), and Justin Bua who is a successful artist. Brett is looking for freelancers to interview this year, so if you’ve pursued your passion then get in touch via the site.
WebAppers is a new blog which scours the web for open source projects. If you’re a web designer or developer this is an incredibly handy resource.
Graphic Design Blog has an interesting article about Freelancing and Time Management, where Tara discusses her journey which most freelancers will relate to.
If you’re involved in the music industry, or even a freelancer looking for some general tips, Andrew Dubber from New Music Strategies has released a free e-book entitled 20 Things.
WiFi Free Spot is a directory that tells you where you can find free Wi Fi hotspots in your area.
Jamie Huskisson lists the Five Reasons Bad Clients Are Good For Us. A great reminder for those of us dealing with the client from hell!

Thanks for mentioning us Cyan!
I’ve found that freelancers and entrepreneurs are slightly crazy for the amount of risk they take in their jobs, but are extremely passionate and absolutely LOVE what they do for a living.
If you know anyone in the U.S. that loves freelancing, shoot me an email at brett@pursuethepassion.com because we’d love to interview them.
Even if you are in Australia doing freelancing, we hope to get out there in 2008, so we’d love to talk with you too!
