Awesome Free Design & Developer Resources
I’ve had a ton of people asking me where to find great resources, and have actually come across a ton of them lately. I’d thought I’d share them all with you in one post. 
If you’ve got some other resources, let me know in the comments!

- Boagworld Bites – Boagworld bites are pieces from the larger Web Design Advice show. These will continue to be published.

Great list, I didn’t know about “The Big Web Show” before; I really enjoy hearing the pioneers of web design chat it up. Thanks
Great list Amber
Just need to locate my iPod now to get those podcasts on iTunes though, being a Linux fan-boy
