Scranton or Secaucus?
I legit have my own version of Creed in the office (from The Office) who comes up to me and either talks about the time he got arrested when he was younger or how they are getting rid of all the old people in the office. He is tall and has balding white hair. Love. It.

Why you keep getting e-mail about West African...
“Because they work. Wicked Local Newton reports a Newton resident actually wired money to Ghana to help somebody there obtain “two trunks full of gold.” Police did not report the amount the resident lost.” via (Unviersal Hub)

Copyright Shenanigans
At my day job I work a lot with copyright permissions. When one of our medical writers wants to use a previous doctor’s research or graphics in a new article, I am responsible for contacting the copyright holder and paying them money so that they will allow this. Tell me if you think these laws are redonk. I paid a company $500 to photocopy and article to pass out at a meeting we were...

Hipster Science
Dear World, People who have a sense of style are not all hipsters. I am providing some images to clear up some misconceptions. I will, for your sake, use the common negative connotation of hipsters. Example A: Yes A Hipster Then What?: N/A Notes: Note the in-style skinny jeans? Well not so fast; there is a very good chance they are covered in stains. And the shoes? A minimum of 10 years old....

Snowflakes, Balloons, and Bubbles
Friday Post! 1. It is extremely too early for it to be snowing (it flurried last night in Brooklyn I hear, though Chelsea and the East Vill didn’t get any that I know of.) I am glad that everyone agrees. BUT I have to say having a cup of coffee on my walk to Penn Station this morning that actually was warming me was really comforting and made me think of Christmastime.

Epic Relaxation
Went to my parents’ house in Newburyport MA this weekend. It was nice to get out of the city and see some foliage. Everything was bright orange and the weather was great, couldn’t have asked for a better weekend for the trip. Still, found myself majorly missing New York. Six months in Boston is going to be hard. In other news, MediaCake is coming along quite nicely and should be up...

What are...
