quickie post on a tuesday night

We are now well into the 3rd week of the Magazine Publishing Project, and there's something about sticking 17 people in two very small rooms (connected by a door, like one of those hotel suites) for an average of 10 hours a day that makes people very odd and quirky. Consider some of these quotes:

[killing time during elections by telling jokes]
Patti: Why was 6 afraid of 7?
Monica: BECAUSE 8, 9, 10!!

[discussing digital strategy]
Sarah: So yeah, we want our website to be for kids, with lots of graphic content.

Pardon me, I must go attend to my boy-person, who is distraught over his fantasy football outcome and various other things in life. Because he doesn't drink, I bought him a Mountain Dew. It felt kind of weird to be buying a grown man a soda instead of a beer, but I guess there are stranger things in life.

P.S. How do you get labels to be separate from each other, mine always come out as long nonsensical strings.

Hi Ted! I just separate them with commas, and that seems to work. Also, my friend David told me an effective, but seriously dirty, SEO (search engine optimization) tool is to tag everything with "kanye west, rihanna, naked." Apparently it helps bring up the article when people are Googling. I've added your Ukraine blog to my favorites list--do you have an address for your new location yet?
