They want to do a television show where I go in and ‘fix’ a company with whose culture sucks. Our 4-day workweek, Idea Week, nice gear, and relaxed environment make us special. The production company believes that our company culture is remarkable, therefore worth doing a television show about.

We were planning another ‘project in a day’, but kept putting it off to work on other projects and client work, but given the quiet time over Christmas and New Year, and spurred on by Carsonified’s recent project (hugmymac.com), we’ve scheduled another day for a project. We don’t have a project yet, but are putting ideas on slips of paper into a hat (well, a tupperware pot), and will pick the best one to implement on the day.

Why am I so fascinated about handmade stuff when I at the same time so much looove my slick but cold MacBook? I guess it's about the warm feelings you have when thinking back at your live as a child tinkering something for the xmas tree with mom, dad and your sisters and brothers. And it's about passion to raise an exception in time to sit back and do something totally separate from your normal work to teach the rushing world wrong. It's about drawing a picture where buying something would be so easy to get away with. Whatever you produce, it is only meaningful for those who understand the passion it needed to let you create it. So coming back to my MacBook, it is not the dead thing itself I'm in love with, but the community that drives that device or that brand just the same as the Linux, Rails, PHP whatever movement. Thanks for interrupting me again: I stop now and search for the paint brushes of my children... :-) You exactly hit my nerve *again* as since last FOWA I chew around on what etsy.com really means to people.
