Now with MORE blue!

Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with carefree, accepting, and unsolicited stuff found all over the Internet.

Ciao, I'm Joele. All week long, I’m always browsing around the internet, stumbling across cool stuff that I pull together and share in this Sunday email. I spend way too much time online, but it’s part of my job helping companies and brands figure out their online content strategy.

No Music this week.
