IMLEA Monday Minute
November 27, 2017
A friend of mine in San Francisco had a part in putting together this comprehensive list of resources. While some aspects are only applicable to the Bay Area, there are a lot of great ideas here that they have curated from numerous sites. I like the suggested videos for each day. This S'more from a twitter friend also has a nice list.
