I've been doing brief Twitter tutorials for my friends because I wish someone could have done one for me. I created this graphic as a leave-behind. (Click the image to make it larger or visit http:\\zoom.it.)

Many thanks to @avcrofts and other friends for making this way better than it was when I started.

OK. Here's the deal. My new job is at my old job. I'm sitting at the same desk, surrounded by the same people but the work is entirely different. What I previously crammed into weeknights and weekends is now visible on my computer screen at work for all to see. I'm getting paid to do what I have done for free. I am living my dream.

Hugh McLeod calls this marrying of passion and profession an "evil plan."

Chris Brogan and Julien Smith refer to it as hacking your job.

While those descriptors came into my world after I manifested my dream job, they best capture the tremendous coup I appear to have pulled off.

I just found this and remembered how much I love it.
I took a lot of heat growing up for my flat chest and long legs.
I'll spare you the delightful list of nicknames those two things spawned
as my friends separated me from my body.
Fortunately, it really does get better.

If you like feel-good movies, Dirty Dancing and don't mind subtitles, I highly recommend Heartbreaker.

I knew when I bought this book of postcards that they would likely never take flight. I am just perfectly content to sit and stare at the simplicity. Charley Harper is a master.

One of my favorites is Blue Jay Bathing:

Maine provides the lowest temporary cash assistance benefit in New England. A struggling family of three in New Hampshire receives $140 more a month than a family three in Maine.

This type of cash assistance is called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). It replaced the welfare programs known as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) program and the Emergency Assistance (EA) program under the federal welfare reform legislation of 1996. For more information about TANF, click here.
