Taking Notes


What, Me Worry? 12.19 • written by Mike G.

Last week Whitney Hess posted a simple tweet that caught my attention: There is no recession for confident consultants What was a quick scroll through my unread tweets quickly became a moment of pause. The sheer truth contained in so few words bowled me over and it got me thinking about the past half year. Right about the time of AIG’s collapse was… Full Article

Like Stretch Armstrong on Crack 12.17 • written by Mike G.

If this week has taught me one thing, it’s that flexibility is the most important virtue of keeping things running smoothly. Halfway through the week I’ve yet to do a single thing on the week’s to do list while also having done more than I expected to do for the rest of the year. This ability to adapt at a… Full Article

What We're Reading

The Design School Survival Guide

Remarkably great advice from an article that I assumed was going to be pure fluff.

The Spread of Wal-Mart

It's like an info-graph of a movie starring Dustin Hoffman and a monkey.

Nice Translator

This is what I've been waiting for. No "language to language" options, just two steps, what language(s) do you want the result to be shown in, and, type in what needs to be translated. The site does the rest, and looks great doing it. (via abduzeedo)
