Sarah who always posts these great links - just posted this 37 Signals post on FB; Urgency is Poisonous about a companies decision to move to a four day work week, and how much they are enjoying it. It not only because it supports a theory I have about how full-time work is pretty bluhh... But I also like it for the comments which are replete with a bunch of work addicts basically asking - "but how many hours are people actually working?" And the writer repetitively saying, "I don't care how many hours people work, I care that they get the stuff they need to get done, done." Finally winding up saying - most people in an eight hour workday actually do four hours of work. That's one of those little truths that needs to be said *way* more often, and not in the sense of - how can we stop people from telling knock knock jokes at work, but in the sense of how can we realize that the number of hours a person spends working is not the ne plus ultra of life.

Ahhhhh.... aside from a slight cold, this couldn't be a better day.

It's reading week, so theoretically I should be catching up on all that stuff that is in my big folder full of shit I haven't done since who know when, but it ought to get done.

Instead, I slept in, made a second latte (!) gossiped with Alison and then spent a good hour setting up my very own Netvibes home page.

Utterly wasted time.

I am very proud of this project so I think I'll just put her in the blog while I wait for the groceries to arrive.

These are sites we made for Le Regroupement des arts interdisciplinaires du Québec (RAIQ) and for Popstart: the Pan-Canadian Interdisciplinary Arts Network.

We - Jen, John and I, worked as a team on this one, it is our third or fourth collaboration, not sure on that number. We've done a bunch more sites in duos, but this one used a fair portion of all three of our brains.
