As Darren Barefoot said on Twitter: Funny because true. But I’m looking at this and thinking I DESPERATELY WANT THAT WOMAN’S JOB. I mean, she knows she’s going to be fired within six months or a year, two if the company’s terribly inefficient or it is in fact the civil service, but in the meantime, […]
This came out on Twitter. I know several people who’ve worked at the garden, and they all enjoyed it a great deal. It’s a very special place in Chinatown: Position: Website / Usability Consultant Organization: Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden Mission Statement: We are a classical Chinese garden, providing unique cultural experiences for visitors […]

She’s also a seriously awesome catalyst for creativity, and her events are exactly as amazing as you have the courage to let them be.

Got this in an email (ah, how I love being on mailling lists; when I’m not screaming about how many emails I get on a daily basis, I’m scraping them for announcements): Spaces are filling up quickly for our March 24th Masters of Digital Media (MDM) Program Open House. Don’t miss your last chance to […]
I found this via a link from the highly plugged-in Kris Krug’s blog, where I was stealing some photographs of Jer Crowle at W2. Looks really interesting, but this is the LAST day to apply! 22.5 hours left!!! An example of something they might consider is anything tangible that results from a project like Mobile […]
Yes, my friend assures me that working for a farmer’s market will guarantee you instant celebrity and access to the freshest roots and berries the urban jungle can provide.
