it’s not possible for her to be any more cool.

The GXR interchangeable unit system camera offers a system which lives in the small form factor of a compact camera, whilst offering interchangeable lens units.
Each lens unit pairs up the glass with the sensor and a processor unit, rather than using a sensor built-in to the body of the camera. The body, in effect, becomes little more than a battery pack and control unit.
Expensive ($990 and up) but innovative and gorgeous.
Tim Siedell, who you may know as Twitter’s Bad Banana, was one of the first bloggers I ever avidly read. He’s an ad man and he started his own company 8 years ago. This is the ad they made to announce it.
Perhaps we were a bit naive. I prefer to think we were confident in our talents and experience. One thing for sure, we have never regretted the decision. Which brings me to the true message of this post.
Quit your job.
Mad Men’s startuptastic season finale coincides delightfully with the launch of Urgent Content’s first campaign today, a national UGC campaign for Flip/Cisco — my current gig. Seems like starting your own ad agency is where it’s at— all the cool kids are doing it.
I don’t hate Betty Draper. I love her. I think she’s a Capricorn. I admire how she “tr[ies] to be a vegetarian, sometimes.” Sure, she’s kind of distant with her kids — not just the boring boy one, but Sally! — but I don’t blame her. Her form of affection is control and thoughtfully planned gestures. She is the perfect WASP. In 35 years, she will be Lucille Bluth; this is the kind of mature lady I’d like to be. Sporadically cruel, but unpredictably so, and only to people who deserve it. Drinking purposefully, but not necessarily to excess. Dressing in jewel tones and rubbing my nylon-clad feet. Why not? Have you ever drunk a bottle of sherry with a woman like Betty Draper? It’s always a trip. I’ll stand up for old Birdie. I’d probably steal her scalloped potatoes recipe, because it’d probably be da business.
