The New New
Haven't written on sooz.com in forever! Forever! Some new changes in the world of Sooz. I've headed back to the land of freelance after a brief stint working office Jobs in 2006 and 2007. Most recently I had an eight-month adventure as the interactive media director at BostonNOW. The first freelance job of 2008 is...
The Move to Allston
Michael and I moved to Allston yesterday. We were sensible and hired movers so overall, it went very smoothly. We're now inhabitants of what seems to be referred to as Lower Allston. I've wanted to live in Boston (maybe just a year) ever since I moved here from Nebraska eleven years ago. ...
Game Night at True Grounds in Boston Metro Article
The monthly game night that John Brigham and I organize at True Grounds was written up in a Boston Metro article on August 24 titled "Hottest Coffee Shops." For some reason the article highlights the Star Wars game that someone brought to the July game night. Just for the record, there are a ...
Flexible Office Space at Cambridge Innovation Center
I moved into new office space recently at Cambridge Innovation Center. They're in Cambridge at One Broadway in Kendall Square. I first checked them out last year and was impressed with their setup. On a month-to-month basis (no long-term lease) you can rent cubicles and offices that include a suite of services ...
New Joshua Darden Website
One of my work endeavors has a new website: the Joshua Darden type design studio. It includes information about the final two additions to the Freight family that will be available later this year: Freight Big and Freight Display. Omnes will be available through the new Village collective this year, too. If ...
Flickr Photos and RSS
If you want to receive an alert via RSS when I add new photos to my flickr account, please add my flickr RSS feed to your reader. I've turned off the photo splicer on my Feedburner feed until they add an option for a daily flickr update. I'm taking too many photos to ...

New Layout
I was poking around a bunch of WordPress themes last night and re-stumbled into Chyetanya Kunte's "plain vanilla" theme. I bookmarked it several weeks ago but never had a chance to do anything with it until a late night tinkering session last night. I'm also using Dan Benjamin's image rotator script as described ...
Boston Globe Article Corrections
Update June 27, 2005: Pete Caputa wrote a related blog entry titled "Bloggers vs Journalists: Agendas." A couple weeks ago Pete Caputa introduced me to a reporter who was working on a "getting paid to blog" story for the Boston Globe. Thanks, Pete! (That's sincere despite my rant throughout the rest of this entry.) Unfortunately...
New Acronym: YANE
Talking with Pete Caputa this morning on IM about the dinner I've put together when Kevin Smokler is in town inspired me to come up with a new acronym. YANE: Yet Another Networking Event I aspire to do events that are not YANE-related. ;)
Freight
The new header graphics above for the title and description are Freight Sans Black and Freight Micro Book, part of the new Freight Family designed by my colleague Joshua Darden. I also use Freight Micro as my screen font for web browsing, email and IM. Freight is available from Garage Fonts for review and ......
Weblog Entries + Flickr Photos + del.icio.us Bookmarks
If you read sooz.com via an RSS newsreader I recommend updating to my FeedBurner powered feed so that you also receive alerts to new flickr photos and del.icio.us bookmarks. The RSS feed that Movable Type outputs still works but you won't see the alerts about new photos and links.
