T hings you shouldn't buy online. Even though it is very convenient to shop online and get goods delivered to your doorstep, there are things you should NEVER buy online.  CARS & BIKES: We highly recommend test driving any car or bike you are considering.

Attending CES and the Detroit auto show over the past two weeks has my brain awash in future technology.  Mercedes-Benz   showed off its fully autonomous F015  Luxury  in Motion concept car in Las Vegas, while Buick, Hyundai, Infiniti and Volkswagen all had concepts sporting advanced features in Motown.

Anyone can be good at it if they put in the time. What really prevents most freelancers from earning a decent living from their craft in how they handle the non-design aspects of it?  A lot of what you need to survive will not be learned in a design school. Here are a few solid pointers every freelancer must remember: 1.     Always get paid. Sure, there will be times that you will have to work for considerably less than you need to, or even for free. But these instances should always be the exception.
