farewell, domino magazine

I’m sad to report that Domino, one of my favorite shelter magazines, has folded.

From New York magazine:

“This decision to cease publication of the magazine and its website is driven entirely by the economy,” Condé Nast CEO Chuck Townsend says in a press release that went out just now. “Although readership and advertising response was encouraging in the early years, we have concluded that this economic market will not support our business expectations.”

What does that mean for those of us with subscriptions? Do we get our money back?

the beauty of street musicians

If you don’t live in Washington, DC you probably haven’t heard the story of a famous violinist, Joshua Bell, posing as a street musician at a metro station. You can read a summary of what happened here. It was a fascinating social experiment.

creativity quiz

How About Orange posted a link to a creativity quiz on her blog today, and I had just to give it a shot. Turns out I’m “Eyes Wide Open” just like Jessica. I realize you’re supposed to take the results of these types of quizzes with a grain of salt, but I think the way my creativity is described is rather accurate.

How I Create:

Your strength lies in your ability to capture your own thoughts and in turn capture the minds of others.

How I Think:

You have a very visual perspective on life. You like your world to be drenched in beauty. The aesthetic is your priority.

Take the quiz, and share your results!

twitter me

Silly, silly me. This whole time I’ve been telling people that my Twitter name is @pjinomaha, when I had actually misspelled it in my profile, adding an additional “J.” So if you are friends with @pjinjomaha (see that extra “J” after the “N”), please make sure to re-friend me and my properly spelled name: twitter.com/pjinomaha

Kudos to my coney for catching my error.
