I started work as a Web Designer and Developer at Headshift two weeks ago. They provide tools and platforms for organizations and businesses looking to further explore social technology. Given that my usage of social media seems directly inverse to its general popularity, working in an environment that encourages said adoption should be inspiring. I’m excited to join the design team and eager to dig into an array of new projects.

Of all the unusual or ridiculous responses I received in response to a posting for a flatshare, this remains my favorite.

“I don’t like americans.
Saying that I don’t know all of them so forget it.
I’m a musician vegetarian against a dictatorship and against the NWO.
People should work together and be friends no matter what.
I am also an inventor an scientist and I try to make this world a better place.
If you are a good webdesigner and can sign up to this, I got a house.
[redacted] that’s the postcode.
I’m vegetarian.
I love Tim Buckley if you know him.
I play guitar i sing and I smoke.”
