If you want to get the full picture of the trip many 6Aers are taking to Hawaii this week, you have to know all the places where we're posting. We are bloggers, so the trip will be well-documented. Here are some hints:
Randy: blog + flickr + twitter
Beau: blog + twitter
Krissy (me): blog + flickr (maybe) + twitter
David: blog + twitter
That's a lot of stalking to do. Several more folks are coming later this week, so I'll add them to this list as they get here. djchall is already packed and ready.
Aloha.
Ayako is in the office this week, and brought me this great little dog tchotchke from Japan! Thank you Ayako, I love it!!
Mena found this little green scooter toy in her office. I added the lizard, as he was just laying on the tchotchke shelf before now. I wonder where he's off to in such a hurry?
I had the great fortune to meet one of my favorite artists this week - Marc Johns, better known around here as draw.vox.com!
Marc stopped by the Six Apart office to have a look around and then we headed to the corner pub to have some beers and french fries with Steve and Kimmie.
He even drew another Post-It for Vox!
Bonus: Check out two other Post-It drawings on art is the new religion.
I think the cat's out of the bag to most of you, should I just come out and say it: I'm moving back to San Francisco.
Six Apart, a company that I love dearly and have worked for since the summer of 2005, has lured me back. At first it was a difficult decision (anyone who knows me knows I'm exceedingly slow and methodical about making up my mind, and usually unwilling to change it) but I realized - after I got through my stubbornness and anxiety - that this is a great thing!! Special thanks to my boss Alex for being so supportive and also to my good friends who helped me weigh the pros and...well there really weren't that many cons. I'm extremely excited and grateful to have a wonderful job and so many awesome friends and coworkers to come back to!
On a practical note, I'll be looking for a one bedroom apartment (or large studio) during the first half of April with the goal of being moved back by early May, so please send me any leads you may have! It breaks my heart a little to leave Austin because I am and always will be a devout Texan, but Jetblue's direct flights from SFO to AUS starting on May 1st should help me cope. And should give my Austin friends no excuse to not visit me.
So there you have it. Life is unpredictable. Life is good!
