well… you see… the thing is… that while this penguin man is perhaps a bit extreme…. his beliefs about ‘becoming’ and ‘enacting’ are the central beliefs of careerists in modernity.

Want to Help Us Bring hResume to Mac OSX?:
One of the things I was chatting with Blake about Friday is the cool new project Chris Messina suggested — creating Resume.app for Mac OSX. The goal is to create a simple, sexy desktop app for Mac OSX that would let you create an hResume-compatible resume. Then you could upload it to your own Web site or to a service like Emurse.

Here’s the wiki page for Resume.app. If you know of a Mac developer who should be involved with this project, let us know.

But not even her gasmask
can save her now

Project Rooftop:
For years you’ve known this day would come. You’ve seen revamps try and fail. You have waited for a chance to show the brilliant merger of fashion and iconography that you’ve hidden away in your sketchbook.
You redesigned Batman. Or Supergirl, or Iron-Man, or Green Lantern. You took a character you love and made them look fresh and new, using practicality, design, color, and above all, with respect for the artists who’ve come before you and respect for the character they’ve molded over decades. Here is your chance to show the world.
