biggest little blog skip to main skip to sidebar a prediction saturday february 4 2012 i fear for the basketcase i m going to be when my kids are sick someday if my behavior as a wife is any indication i m going to hover and pat and coo and hover until they vomit on me on purpose just to get me to back off the mercifully swift but brutal stomach virus of 2012 came through our home this week and it wasn t pretty physically or emotionally because i had meetings and couldn t hover all day at dave s bedside i made him this card instead so far he hasn t vomited on me link to this entry comments 3 leaping jumping lessons from a non athlete friday january 27 2012 over the past few months i ve had the chance to speak about my favorite topic how to quit your day job being an independent worker has become so integral to who i am that when given an opportunity to talk about it and an audience who might care i just can t shut up i m not picky about my stage this goes for speaking and singing karaoke but the smallish roundtable setting at alt was perfect the people at my session seemed truly engaged and interested in how to make the leap they asked thoughtful questions like how do you stay motivated without someone telling you what you have to do and what about insurance we talked about how to make a graceful exit how to bridge the gap between paycheck and paypal and how to know if you re really ready hint you ll never really feel ready my goal was to deliver both rah rah you can do it inspiration and let s get down to specifics tactical advice hopefully that happened i think it did whenever i speak on this topic there is one major theme that winds up emerging and that is this you can create an environment wherein quitting your day job is less of a cliff jump and more of a trust fall current employers mentors experience resources etc these all make up a sort of safety net that help cushion your fall and build in some assurance that you are not going to wind up on the street unless you re quitting your day job to be a street musician in which case congratulations you are out on the street finding relevant information and like minded individuals who have lived through it are huge in helping feel somewhat prepared anyway i thought i d share the list of resources i passed out to the folks at my roundtable on the off chance it s helpful and if you want to hear more you should know i m speaking at reboot workshop tomorrow come say hi independence in general jeremy kathleen freelance matters passive panda creative inc by joy cho meg ilasco my so called freelance life by michelle goodman pricing jessica hische the dark art of pricing grahpic artists guild handbook coworking new work city we work loose cubes networking creative collaborative meetup freelancers union invoicing harvest link to this entry comments 1 alt summit tips from a newly minted veteran monday january 23 2012 i m back from a big week at altitude summit in salt lake city alt is technically a design conference but it s really more like a big slumber party a slumber party where instead of pajamas you wear skinny jeans and instead of having a pillow fight you stalk ben silberman and the slumber party isn t at your house it s held at the house of that really really cool girl who rides a vespa and wears tights with horizontal stripes on them now that i ve experienced alt i feel like i can offer some key pieces of advice for those thinking about attending in 2013 1 make a list of the people you d like to see meet while you re there read up on their blogs learn more about their careers families and personal preferences that way when you find yourself next to pilar guzmán while in line for the toilet you can say hey how did that bathroom remodel turn out rather than holy cow my bladder is so full i love your pants 2 think about the cutest outfit you re planning to bring now make it cuter now cuter okay now you re ready 3 when it comes to business cards dream big paper is passé rectangles are lame o think about the christmas gift you loved most from your childhood and then buy 250 of those to hand out to the people you meet 4 if you are male you ll want to practice some immersion therapy leading up to the event does your local ywca have a prenatal yoga class you can audit how about a nicholas sparks book club what you want here is sheer quantity of ladies 5 consider bringing a rolling suitcase fun vintage red wagon or sherpa to help carry your swag nothing says alt rookie like a back injury thanks to the alt people for putting on such a fabbolus design conference cough slumber party cough and having me as a speaker i ll post some nuggets from my roundtable session later but for now i m going to get caught up on my sleep and relive this moment link to this entry comments 8 just a guess saturday january 14 2012 link to this entry comments 2 short hair vote y or n monday june 20 2011 thinking about going short thanks to the internet i don t have to wonder if i can pull off the rihanna look as per usual i can clearly the flame thrower croissant bouffant the andy warhol sludge pile link to this entry comments 5 playsuits some guidance monday may 30 2011 it s that time of year when things start to get really sweaty and the fashion choices start to get really perplexing don t get me wrong winter was a really confusing time for me too what with all the leggings as pants and tights as leggings but heat will cause normal thinking people to make really bad clothing decisions the worst of which imho is the playsuit these things are everywhere right now which is dangerous because it means they can be on everyone right now where shorty pajamas overalls and bodysuits meet that s where you ll find the playsuit before urban outfitters started selling them no one over the age of three had worn one in fact i suspect they had to drastically alter the pattern once they discovered the style was designed to accommodate a disposable diaper not only are they unpleasant to look at they re inaccurately named no one outside of joy school has ever been able to play in one of these things shoulder to hem they re 18 inches tops unless you ve developed a sophisticated style of play that doesn t include lifting your arms the best you re going to do in this suit is stand or maybe riverdance anyway i thought i d offer some guidance to those still considering the playsuit as a wardrobe option this summer please share this with all of your friends over three link to this entry comments 5 spotlight wednesday january 12 2011 exciting news my friends at ollibird are going to be guest host bloggers on etsy tomorrow this is exciting because they are talented and awesome but also because they ll be teaching a little video tutorial on how to enhance your photos i like to imagine it s going to be like on cop movies where the detectives are reviewing a piece of fuzzy black and white film taken from a video camera mounted two miles away from the parking lot where the crime took place it s just big clots of salt and pepper but then the chief comes by and is like wait a minute enhance enhance again again again and then someone mutters i think we found our man and the screen shows a photo so high resolution you can count pores on the dude s nose i m going to be following along hoping i can prove once and for all that this is actually this i swear it was her link to this entry comments 0 older posts subscribe to posts atom reno that s me i m a nearsighted bird hater living in new york city i
