Facebook fun - do you like crunchy leaves? Me too!

Posted October 4, 2007 * Comments(0)

Do you like crunchy leaves? Will you go out of your way to step on them? Well you’re in good company. Finally, a social networking site where I can meet people just like me! In fact Facebook has at least 20 groups related to stepping on crunchy leaves:

  • I Will Go Slightly Out of My Way To Step On That Crunchy-looking Leaf
  • I Go Slightly Out of My Way To Step on a Leaf That is Particularly Crunchy
  • If I step on a leaf that looks crunchy and it isn’t crunchy, I get sad
  • I Will Go SIGNIFICANTLY Out Of My Way to Step On That Crunchy Looking Leaf

And for the contrarians:

  • I avoid the crunchy leaves in an attempt to be more stealthy and ninja-like
  • i will go slightly out of my way to step on that crunchy looking squirrel
  • I WILL GO OUT OF THE WAY TO STEP ON ICE THAT LOOKS PARTICULARLY CRUNCHY
  • Fuck crunchy leaves, it’s all about the pine cones.

And when times get tough, there’s always…

  • Soggy Leaves Mock My Existence!

Going to Seattle and our WebTV Show

Posted May 17, 2007 Comments Off

One of the best things about being between careers is that you have some time to experiment and try out new ventures that you otherwise might not have time for.

One of these ventures is a Web TV show we’re creating for Generation whY; the show will discuss social and career-related issues that affect young professionals today.

We don’t have a website yet, but the show’s main sponser is Zoodango.com (”where you connect with young hip urban professionals”), a social networking site created by James Sun of Apprentice fame.

I’m super excited because I’ve spent the past few months working on show ideas and writing scripts with Aaron Altscher, and this weekend we’re flying to Seattle to film the show. More details to come…
