???????? ????? ????????Web Warrior Tools

My very good buddies Glen (of LifeDev) and Leo (of Zen Habits) launched their brand new ebook store today, called Web Warrior Tools. Much like their awesome blogs, the main idea behind the books they sell is improving your life. And don’t let the name fool you – these precious volumes are good for anybody, not just us chumps that spend all day tapping on the keyboard.

They’ve already got some killer titles fresh off of the presses, including:

The best part their offerings (and ebooks in general, really) is that you can have them now! Click to buy, and you’re ready to go a few seconds later. Gotta love the freakin’ Internet.

As tattoos have grown in popularity and social acceptance, it’s very likely that your average 20-something has one or more tattoos. And while I’m certainly not an expert on the art of tattooing, I’ve got a good deal [...]
