Defending who?

This ad appears on Salon.com today.

I feel so safe.

Hat

Flickr is not working at the moment, but I wanted to share what will probably be the last hat of the season.

Half-double rib done in a spiral, using Chilean wool. I will look forward to you in the winter, little hat.

I has a job

After several weeks of nail-biting, over-drinking, staying up too late, and wearing fancy shoes, I have emerged with having accepted a position at the B-School Library at the University of Michigan. My market title is Info Resources Assistant Sr. My job will be to wrangle digital collections and help to maintain and overhaul the library’s existing website.

I start (probably) May 5 May 12. I am excited.

Projects

I have not been blogging because I have been busy. Blogging is like updating your own website when you’re a web monkey. It doesn’t happen when there is monkeying.

In housing news, I have acquired an apartment for the fall. Cheaper than my current place, slightly smaller. Back to my basement-y roots. There will be a lot of eating at Northside but also gas-stove cooking, thank goodness.

In work news, it’s the feast part of the feast/famine dichotomy. I have heard through the grapevine that I have a very good chance of being offered a particular job I interviewed for a few weeks ago. I have another brief interview tomorrow, and a longer interview on Tuesday. These are all for complete different jobs. I’ve also got web and web-related projects out the ears. Mostly secret or “secret.”

This weekend, one of the (strangely not-secret) projects I’m working on is putting up a test site for this nice lady’s Secret Instructions. Cuphate is drawing pictures to answer your questions. You can email her at secretinstructions [at] gmail [dot] com.

Upgrade!

2.5 is pretty slick. Wrote over my CSS in my excitement, however. Will fix.
