Tuesday I went to a live recording of my favorite podcast, Stuff You Should Know. It was about Public Relations & the inventor of it (and bad guy), Edward Bernays. I recommend you listen to it when it comes out because it was super interesting; Bernays was, as Josh put it, an evil genius.

  • I made an iTunes playlist of all of the episodes I haven’t listened to. There are a lot.
  • I ordered Bernays’ Propaganda.
  • At this point Josh and Chuck can say anything and I will believe it without questioning them.

    Highrise HQ (from the former 37signals) has a new app for the iPhone. When I was freelancing, and even at the University, I was big into the 37signals Suite – Basecamp, Highrise, Campfire, & Backpack. Now that I do considerably less side work, the price just isn’t worth it. I still need a way to…
