52projects.com: Thinking outside the craft.

About Me


I'm Jeffrey Yamaguchi and I run 52Projects.com , a site dedicated to thinking outside the craft. It's all about projects and project-making. Project ideas, projects to create, projects to check out, and projects to participate in. DIY projects, homemade projects, writing projects, photo projects, projects, projects, projects... And more projects.
Be sure to check out the 52 Projects book .
And my new book -- Working For The Man: Inspiring and Subversive Projects for Residents of Cubicle Land -- is now available.
