In Search of Meaning (22): Jung, individuation, and the second half of life

DK writes a series on books clients recommend us, as well as other noteworthy pieces. It’s called In Search of Meaning.
Something I’ve just stumbled on during routine Internet surfing is this stuff about the psyche, the individual, and Carl Jung. I’m not an expert in this kind of thing, but I am fascinated by it.

4 common pitfalls for seeing your marketing plan through

Yesterday DK stopped by a session on marketing tips for small businesses, hosted by Najat Cola of Seattle-based Cola Marketing group through Biznik.
We were curious about this, as we’ve lately been talking a lot with people about authenticity marketing, especially at our other site, Lightfootbranding.com. It was nice to take a step back and hear […]

Flashback to Copenhagen 4 design inspiration adventure

I’ve been missing train travel. I think it was because we took the light rail to the airport before setting off to San Francisco earlier this month, and I was reminded of very cosmopolitan places like Amsterdam and Copenhagen with all their lovely rails.

Now playing at Harvard Exit: In the Loop

I like to go to movies and plays without reading anything about them (something which got me in trouble at Washington Ensemble Theatre’s Titus), but this poster for In the Loop was enough to make me buy a ticket. And very well worth it, too.

comedy
docudrama

witty dialoguee
satire
politics

Weddings

DK is going to our second wedding this summer on Saturday. Excited.
Now that our little boss-man is one years old, things seem different. Like, we can go out for happy hour again—”We’ll just bring him along!” Or, we’re rested enough to take the time to go out for movies. Dinners. Coffees. And attend things. Like […]

From the Ireland 2001-2004 diaries: Driving in west County Cork

Most travelers don’t get out here, they stay in Cork and then go somewhere easy to get to, like Doolan or the Cliffs of Moher.
I had a license. And a car, my very own. And OK, it was a provisional license so I had to have a big sticker with a red ‘L’ on the […]
