(almost) Friday’s online finds: Inspirational, educational or just silly. Here is what I found this week…

• These dolls.
• Branded in memory.
• Soup season is coming.
• Motherhood and creativity.
• Food doesn’t have to be photogenic.
• The phone gives us a lot but it takes away three key elements of discovery: loneliness, uncertainty and boredom. Those have always been where creative ideas come from. – Lynda Barry
• Collaborative overload?
• Less insane? Sign me up!
• I found the perfect silk shirt.
• How a new–agey website started by an actress became so popular—and what it says about the future of health journalism.
• The discovery marks the first genetic proof that women were Viking warriors.
• Great dedication.

Have a great weekend! I am catching an early flight to New York to visit with family and run a marathon. Gulp. Lucky number SIX. Here’s hoping the foot survives the 42 km.
