Today's good stuff:

--Fellow Portland blogger Get Rich Slowly summarizes an Ask Metafilter post on when it pays to make stuff from scratch. (I think they miss the point about knitting socks from scratch; it's not just the superior materials and fit, it's an enjoyable hobby that results in something useful.)

--Eliminating Lead Poisoning over at Treehugger talks about the new point of care testing device that turns testing for lead poisoning into a simple finger stick with results in three minutes. This could revolutionize public health.

--8 Ways to Save for a Quick Emergency Fund. Pretty self-explanatory. via.
