Chipotle’s Amazing Stop Motion Film

Great people, wonderful music, yummy food, and the cutest cocktails….all add up to a fabulous night at the Academy of Music’s 4th Annual Gala. My Sweetie re-designed the Academy’s website.
Playing with BuddyPress
With the upcoming WordCampNYC 2010 and some other projects I have been playing around with BuddyPress again.
Coterie is a French word for a group of people who associate closely, a clique or inner circle. Seems a fitting name for an online community….@ least at this stage and until we get the final kinks worked out of the functionality of this type of community site and what we want to do with it. I must say, Steve Bruner does great job explaining the installation of both WordPress and BuddyPress in this video.

These images will eventually find themselves into an eCourse: Learning how-to pose for Vintage PinUp photographs. Right now they need to be put into the editing process and finalized for production into the eCourse and other areas over on Vintage PinUp Clothing
Creative, Inc
I have always been fascinated with stop action movies and this one is quite inspiring.
Rocky Neck State Park
Finally got to the beach over the weekend. Traveling south then slightly east for about 1 hour and 40 minutes to Rocky Neck State Park, in Lyme, CT.
What a lovely spot, looking out into the Long Island Sound. The water was clear and the beach a nice sandy white.
I highly recommend this area for either a day on the beach or to go camping. While we pretty much parked ourselves directly on the beach, hiking and camping were very nearby as well as an estuary and marsh lands.
Now, I just need to finish that book I was reading beach side, before summer is over…..
The Gig Economy
Richard Greenwald says we are now, “living at the dawn of the freelance world, as more and more people find themselves working as consultants, contract workers or freelancers. This change in the way we work is as profound as the shift that occurred during the Industrial Revolution.”
Having been an on and off freelancer, since 1985….I of course, side with the freelancers and have to say….this is not just the dawn of the freelancers….it IS the Dawning of the Age of the Freelancers.
