moving

Month 1

Still loving the job. Zumix is closed this week to students (we're in between "semesters" right now, classes start up again on Sept. 14th) so it's eerily quiet in here. I can only hear one guitar right now as opposed to a rock band practicing, a drum lesson, radio show, and general chaos that comes along with working with high schoolers.

Stuck On You Like Glue

<em>In Brief:</b><strong>The Kids:</strong> some of them are finally getting it together, projects are rolling, cameras are getting turned on and pointed at things, footage is on various computers and there is much running around and talk about football and cliques.  <strong>The Materials:</strong> cracking out some workshop prototypes and test-driving them, got a website up to help things run and make materials available to all.<strong>The Organization:</strong> we're moving down the line to new office space in the Roxbury Mall trying not to go nuts...

First Day on the "Job"

Categories:

Well, it seems most people have been at their postions for at least a week. I just started today. I'm working for Aspiration in downtown San Francisco, which is incredibly cool. I got a nice computer and a nice workspace. This morning Heather (my supervisor) went through all the tools I'll be using, and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on them. Gunner (my other supervisor) took everyone at Aspiration out to lunch (that's easy when there's only 3 people). Right now they're at a meeting, and I've been playing around with my computer and the Social Source Commons (which Gunner will show me more about when he gets back).
