Techie - Crafty Crossovers

Fri Jul 13, 2007 at 11:20 am in Nerd Craft

I read two types of blogs, other than my friends’ stuff. 1) Craft-related and 2) Gadget/tech related.

It’s a little bit strange when I start seeing the same things on both of the sites, but this last week has seen a couple of unexpected crossovers.

Craft and Make both featured the knit iPhone, and then it popped up on Monday at Popgadget as well.

Then, just today, Popgadget popped up with a post on how Etsy has gone offline, a follow-up to their earlier story informing their readers about the wonderful things you can find on Etsy. Says the author today, “I love Etsy.” Don’t we all?

Tech and craft aren’t such different worlds, though. Look at all the wonderful blogs I follow (about 15 so far - check the Blogroll over there for more). And when I was trolling iTunes for new podcasts, there was a whole section on the very front page entitled “Crafty is Cool.”

Indeed it is.
