>> In case you missed it, unemployment’s now funemployment. “Buoyed by severance, savings, unemployment checks or their parents, the funemployed do not spend their days poring over job listings. They travel on the cheap for weeks. They head back to school or volunteer at the neighborhood soup kitchen. And at least till the bank account dries up, they’re content living for today.”
>> Get together with your fellow local funemployeds. Organize a frugal block party. (via Lifehacker)
>> Plan B career as an organic farmer: Perhaps not as fun and fulfilling as your idealized fantasy. “I’m not alone in idealizing the rural life…. The lush landscape seems safely distant from city pressures, but is still dotted with enough antiques shops and stylish bistros so that they don’t feel like, well, hicks. That vision ended for me 30 minutes into my new agrarian life, with my right hand buried up to the wrist in a still-warm chicken’s hind end.” (via Ethicurean)

Interesting that the map doesn’t include Miles Automotive. Not sure what else isn’t there.

I think they’re still slowly adding stuff on. It’s an interesting idea — even better would be if there were colored markers for companies that’re hiring :)
