Monday, October 30th, 2006

steven found out that heather o’neill, who you might know from wiretap and this american life, is at the harvard bookstore tomorrow evening at 6:30.
still early for a school day, but I think it might give me just enough impetus to sneak out of the office a little earlier than usual.

I am starting to get into adding details and fun stuff to the activewear site project. One of the main concerns for the “look” is that it remain pretty “girly” while still having lots of punchy color (i.e. every item comes in this set of colors, and to play on that I want to keep [...]

Ramen = Freedom
