World’s Oldest Profession 2.0

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Living up to my social trend of ‘lowering the tone’…..

“With New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer allegedly caught nibbling the fruits of a high-class, tech-savvy prostitution ring, it’s clearer than ever the world’s oldest profession is doing a fine job of harnessing the latest technology.

The red light site at the center of the Spitzer scandal is EmperorsClubVIP.com. Now offline, it’s described in FBI files as a professional online storefront offering conveniences like e-mail confirmation of appointments, and linking clients and prostitutes across the United States and Europe.”

Desert Office Disks - the soundtracks of business

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

In my book one of the major perks of working as a creative freelancer is that i can sit at my work station all day surrounded with books, magazines and colour samples slurping my steaming hot mug of tea with iTunes playing my fav songs, with no office politics or guilt for tapping a foot to the beat - bliss! 

Good music helps me, and I have a sound choice depending on the type of work i need to get done. If it’s proposal writing my taste is classical, research and initial concepts calls for a little jazzy swing. This week I’m setting typefaces for some print work and my soundtrack this week is the distinctive guitar picking techniques of Newton Faulkner.
