I had to share this…  Because it’s funny. And to be honest there is a lot of truth in it as well. Enjoy!

Stop me if you’ve heard this before… another site got hacked. Again. AGAIN! When are companies going to take data storage seriously?

 

 

St. Louis-based retail brokerage firm Scottrade has been hacked. The social security numbers, email addresses, street addresses, and other sensitive information of at least 4.6 million customers was accessed.

Rick Owens has never been one to shy away from the extreme. His runway shows are virtually always a spectacle, having had his models do some undoubtedly odd and even questionable things over the years. For his latest, Owens instructed …

THANK YOU TIM GUNN! 

Every single thing he said was correct. Vogue is a laughingstock now, especially after putting the likes of a Kardashian on the cover, and Anna Wintour is simply doing too much.

 

And Heidi… girl… that dress! Did you lose a bet? Who hurt you?

Not surprised. Vinyl is great. I was smart enough to never get rid of mine… all I need to do is fix my record player.

 

The vinyl resurgence is real, but artists are still getting screwed.

This is how ridiculous the start-up game gas gotten in SF. People are actually paying to take naps in pods at lunch time. Actual American $$$. 

Go home techie friends. Your drunk.

Well well well…..

The tech crunch is experiencing an interesting turn of events. Start-ups are now moving their customer support and other services out of the Bay Area because the costs are simply too damn high.

Not the higher end positions too much, but you know that’s next.

The only thing I wonder about is what happens when tech companies stop expanding in the Bay Area and folks flock elsewhere. Will the rents drop? Will the jobs lost be made up elsewhere? Will SF end up looking like a ghost town because the cool kids moved on to hipper, cheaper surroundings?

We’ll soon find out!

I have so many conflicted feelings about this. I truly understand both sides, but a resolution won’t be coming overnight. Right now the Bay Area and SF in particular is a smoldering powder keg about to blow. And when it does, it won’t be pretty for anyone involved.
