The characters who wander in.

There she stands in all her glory, peppering the girl behind the counter with questions.

Time to go.

She sits with a forced smile poking through slightly pursed lips.

He has exuberantly greeted the other girl and for the past few moments, she has been truly invisible.

Just a question…

Does a house like this come with an Eames lounge chair and ottoman or are you required as part of the Architect’s contract to purchase one?

Just asking… so I can budget appropriately.

More about the whole house here (Sunken House by Adjaye Assocates).

Oh and what’s with the little trap door behind the head of the chair….

I want to work for Jon Stein!

Too bad Betterment is in New York (or that I’m here… you decide).

Read The No-Hour Workweek: Reinventing Employee Expectations For The Modern Economy and you’ll understand why.

This ad from http://chipotle.com inspires me on a number of levels. I wish I lived close enough to experience one of the restaurants.

“

The future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed.”
Too true.

Funny thought…

If Rob Zombie was a Real Estate agent in Victoria, an ad for one of his properties might read “More Tudor than Tudor, more Tudor than Tudor, more Tudor than Tudor, more Tudor than Tudor… Just a funny thought…

Save as draft

It’s not that I’m not writing. It’s just that, like a spam filter, Save as Draft is snagging my thoughts. It’s not writer’s block, it’s editor’s block.

Some Appropriate Responses to the News re: Jason Russell Arrested

wilwheaton:

fishingboatproceeds:

1. Make a gift to a highly rated, respected, efficient charity that works in Uganda, like Save the Children.

2. Join the Kiva nerdfighters group and lend to entrepreneurs in Uganda, the DRC, and other nations affected by the LRA.

3. Remind yourself always to do some research before giving to any organization, like for instance by making a quick visit to charity navigator.

4. Remember that the masturbatory habits and/or substance abuse problems of cofounders of charities are not nearly as important as the work those charities do and the efficiency with which they do it. I, for one, am far more concerned that Ugandans seem generally disgusted about Kony 2012 than I am with this news.

5. Acknowledge that the LRA sucked 10 years ago, and sucks today, and will suck tomorrow, and that it remains our job to pay attention in a patient and sustained way to the world in which we find ourselves.

Also, once you do these things, if you’re me… you make all kinds of really awful jokes on Twitter.

Can Social Media Trends and Big Data be Trusted in Light of Kony 2012?

More food for thought. I’m fascinated to see how/if this changes things. Is this just new/old tactics at work? Could it be called propaganda? I’m going to see what Strombo has to say…
