Upward, not Northward.: December 2009
http://upwardnotnorthward.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Upward, not Northward. Lately I've been seeing more "rally cry" posts from knowledge workers who are fed up with sifting through so much bullshit. While often snarky, they make for great reading. In the world of digital freelancing, it's the equivalent of bitching about the boss in the break room. A post from today's DC board is the best I've seen:. It is just as banal as asking choosing a heart surgeon based on pictures of faces of his previous patients. A website will tell you NOTHING about the ski...

Upward, not Northward.: July 2009
http://upwardnotnorthward.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Upward, not Northward. The rise of the hedonistas. From time to time in life, I experience something that restores my faith in the human race, if at least temporarily. Situations in which it seems possible- just maybe- that humanity might not be the long march towards entropy that Nickelback's popularity might suggest. This happened last year at RAGBRAI; it happened again this year. To wit, Wednesday's. Posted by David Earl. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a traveler of both time and space.

Upward, not Northward. So I'm working on a new design for the wanderingbears.com. I asked Miss Mannix what sort of feel she wanted, and the answer was "something green. earthy". Ok umm. wandering bears. uh. bears. that. uh. wander. and. uh. live in forests. and. earthy. um. forests. uh. trees. that are. um. green. trees. forests. You get the point. So, i fire up Illustrator, fire up some Miles/Coltrane, fire up some fine green, and this comes out:. Posted by David Earl. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Upward, not Northward. But being out there on the water, looking up and seeing that flag was reassuring. I can't explain it, but it made me feel a little bit more proud to have come from the U.S. Regardless of how fucked up it was. The true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.".

Upward, not Northward.: are you kidding me?
http://upwardnotnorthward.blogspot.com/2010/01/are-you-kidding-me.html
Upward, not Northward. Are you kidding me? I just stumbled on this article. Via reddit) by Joel Spolsky, author of the (very good) software blog, " Joel on Software. Until now, Joel has been a developer I've looked up to and respected. After reading this article, I want to slap him. If an employer pulled this shit with me, they would find themselves short a developer the following morning. Lesson: don't be a dick. Especially not a greedy dick. Posted by David Earl.

Upward, not Northward. Joe and I had just left Donnelly's- immersed in the ped-mall and all of its St. Patrick's day glory. Bound for the Mill, we rolled the 15 yards to the street. He intercepted our path like a troll guarding a bridge; one of Iowa City's "finest" was incensed that we were rolling on his. Sidewalk (his words, not mine). Now, do you know why I stopped you? No, but I have a feeling you're going to tell us. Posted by David Earl. My hope had just a bit of its shine restored after reading ab...

Upward, not Northward. I've lost count, but i've sent out at least 42 copies of my resume over the last month. i've heard back from exactly three people. now, i realize my resume is nothing to write home about, but a seven percent rate of return? While thinking of unique ways to fallaciously pad said resume, i got to thinking of the prevalence of the middle finger in my facebook profile picture. sure enough- i google my name, and wham! The big fuck you. Without going into a winded privacy diatribe, it's ...
