Pin from your computer

When you browse through various sites, you probably see those “Pin it” buttons left and right, giving you a simple tool to somehow, “bookmark” those interesting ideas or articles.

Remember when…? – Bye Bye

On New Year's Ever or New Year's day, we all have our ways to say bye bye to the old year and welcome the new one.
