I don’t care how good the brunch at Egg is.  This line is ridiculous.

My only knowledge about Williamsburg when I came to NYC is that that’s where all the hipsters lived. Now that I’m in New York and working in Williamsburg, I pass by several curious characters on the street each day. Which each person, I try to guess whether each individual is a hipster. It’s a pretty fun game. (Rayanne also introduced me to this hipster game.)
New York has been great so far. I expect to do more exploring this weekend, and hopefully check out the cherry blossoms in Central Park. (Can you believe I haven’t seen  Central Park in all my time here yet?! I must remedy that.) And I’ll finally get to do some improv tomorrow, which I’ve been longing to do for weeks. The PIT is also ridiculously close to my new place, so I plan to catch some shows there in the coming nights.

I like Git—I use it every day—and for the most part it works pretty well, but this is still a good satire.

This is the first thing I noticed when I walked into the office on Thursday, and I couldn’t agree more.
A important maxim, though I think it’s subliminally telling me that my work needs to be “done perfect[ly]”, and as a (recovering) perfectionist, this is a little hard to avoid, especially since I like things to always be done properly right from the start. I’ve been training myself to be slightly less nitpicky, which I’m still getting used to, so I can concentrate on shipping, and then later iterating and re-shipping. 
I start working on the main project first thing tomorrow, so I’ve got to be up bright and early!
Tonight, I’m going to have dinner and catch up with Joelle, who I haven’t seen since I was here last month, which means I ought to log off and make my way out!

For those of you who haven’t heard yet, I got a new job in New York City! I’m now working for a great little company called Flavorpill!

We’re developing this really cool new product. I’m really looking forward to working with the team. From our day-and-a-bit of spending time together, I’m certain that we’re all going to get along famously. Alex, at least, also likes Broadways shows, karaoke, and it’s improv-curious. Mark, one of the FP co-founders, is guiding the main vision of the product. Jack and I both come from very similar backgrounds. We haven’t chatted too much one-on-one yet, but I presume we’ll have many ideas to share. Rick, who I’ll probably be working closest with on this project, is really friendly and smart. And finally, there’s Kim, who recommended me for the position and I should be eternally grateful to, I’ve known since she was back in Toronto.

The SoHo office also has Lucy, the adorable little office puppy visiting for a week or two. I’m definitely going to have to depart from our Brooklyn office to coddle this cute little canine before she goes back to her rightful home!

This subway map bracelet passes the dept’s test of awesomeness.

I need to get myself one of these, especially since I’m moving to NY in a couple of days! This would be remarkably useful for navigating this brave, new city.
It seems to only show Manhattan lines, though I would’ve expected a more complete version that included the other boroughs, or at least Brooklyn too.
