Today's good stuff:
--Fellow Portland blogger Get Rich Slowly summarizes [1] an Ask Metafilter post on when it pays to make stuff from scratch [2]. (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 [3] over at Treehugger talks about the new point of care [4] 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 [5]. Pretty self-explanatory. via [6].
