The bitch about blogging


You can't always have your cake and eat it too - Emily should know (article). She was Queen of the blogosphere and the first to throw mud and begin a dialogue about "other people". But when the tide turned and it was time to switch sides, it wasn't so much fun to be the one under the microscope.

While the story is interesting, I agree with some other readers when we question why it deserves a spread in the NYTimes magazine when there is so much other "important" news out there. See comments.

By reading this, I feel we indulge her just one more time... But then again, if you're reading my blog I guess we're all guilty...

That said, don't expect to read about my love life here... Just some random tidbits of "interesting".... (i think).....

Out of the darkness, behind the light


Super cool images by Bill Henson. A bit like the exorcist meets the Great Gatsby or similar society folk. Either way, the images are both narrative and spooky... You could write some great stories about these characters. Read an interview with the artist here.

This is not where I work


despite my dreary office (at least I have a window), my curiosity about work space is none the less invigorated by these pictures of advertising agencies. So minimal . So cool. So different? But are they - which ones are truly innovating on the way we interact and work and which ones are merely putting a a new dress on a old pig. Either way, check them all out here and let me know how your work space compares.
