What Do You Want to Make Today?
Another thing I found while cleaning my office, in addition to the magnetic poetry kit, was a bunch of old business cards. These are from my job at About, which I still have, but the email address on them is no longer valid, and the company hasn’t been part of the New York Times Co. […]
