Don’t you hate it when you see someone wearing the same shirt as you? It’s equally frustrating seeing the same image used in a website template. If only I had time to create my own cool silhouette businessmen.
Some how I made it in there too! The article is on coworking, a practice I highly recommend for getting you out of the house and into a social environment. If anyone gets CSM in print, I’d love to get a physical copy of the article to put on the wall at betahouse
