Wait, what?
I know some folks feel this way: “You aren’t really hispanic. But you are definitely not white.”
Sigh.
I been reading so much this summer. The words on pages have become phantoms glimmering across surfaces while I commute from work. The backsplashes of the subway walls appear to have words neatly printed on them. So many beautiful words.
But I am reading the saddest and...
I have learned these last two months.
There are lots of smart people out there, but not all of them are employable. Just like there are many employable people out there, but not all of them are intelligent.
Having a namesake degree can you get your foot in the door, but not neccessarily your ass in the job seat.
If you must deal with any bureacracy of any kind document everything, have names, record conversations if you must BUT...

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze. It maketh me to wake in green pastures. It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses. It restoreth my buzz. It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction, I will fear no Equal - For thou art with me; Thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me. Thou preparest a carafe before...

what i want
techcrunch made a really nifty idea for a web tablet. lets you surf exclusively…cool stuff.
now this is all good and such, i think the way this product was actually developed is even more awesome (some guy had the idea wrote a blog about it and tons of people were interested and inserted comments and suggestions. they built a prototype left it up to users and continued to develop better...

Tumblr Testing New Questions Feature →
A new question and answer feature is slowly being rolled out by the Tumblr team. We first spotted this feature on Jacob Bijani’s (Tumblr’s creative director) tumble log. Since then, the feature has been rolled out to a number of Tumblr users. However, there is still no date when the rest of its users will see this feature enabled.
Question answered all hail GOOGLE!
