Yummy Phin & Phebes Icecream

craftcoffee: This Friday, the Craft Coffee twitter alerted us that there was VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE icecream to be had in the office. Needless to say, we were on it! Phin & Phebes icecream checks all the boxes; small batch, local, and delicous… AND they are readily available in our fave Brooklyn lunchspot, Marlow & Daughters. What’s not to love?

Instagram Filters as Photoshop Actions

Found these great Photoshop filters that mimic Instagram. I took this photo with my Nexus One, which arguably has terrible camera quality. As a non iPhone user, I’ve been drooling over Instagram for awhile, which made me do a search to see if this existed.

– Give Your Employees Unlimited Vacation Days Some look at business management techniques like this and think they are pipe dreams or flat out silly. I disagree: I think it’s a shift in our culture and a necessary one. Just as sales commissions train salespeople to focus on the wrong results, so do...
