24. Working in PR/Comms in NYC. Generally obsessed with restaurants, tech & startups. Often sarcastic, abundantly curious. Can usually be found sticking my nose where it belongs.
Zuckerberg’s hoodie is getting more play in the media than…oh wait, I don’t know because I’ve barely had time to read anything else. Sorry, hard hitting news - maybe tomorrow. Today I was too busy learning about the fact that the Zuckster wore a hoodie (what else) to several meetings with large banks and other institutional investors this week. Then some analyst made a few snide remarks, including that Facebook would be better off with Zuckerberg not as their CEO. Now of course, among other things, it’s become fodder for some satirical tweeting (cough @ZuckerbergsHood) and therefore kept some Mashable reporters working late. The hoodie situation also inspired a blogger on TechCrunch to write this masterpiece earlier today which I’m a little too obsessed with for my own good.
Also, in even less hard hitting news, someone thinks it’s a good idea to recreate 170-year-old beer. And by someone, I mean Finnish researchers. I don’t know about you, but when I find a shipwrecked boat from the 1840s (as happened in this story), I immediately search it for any alcohol still on board and then scheme ways to recreate it. Just me and the Finnish?
Lastly, if you are unemployed, you should probably post your name, picture and website with the words “Hire Me!” in size 3948534 font on a billboard. Apparently, that is what recruiters are looking for these days. Or so goes the moral of this story.
