Things about my job at The New York Times that I can talk about: I’m working slightly fewer hours than I did at Behavior but each hour is more jam-packed with work than ever before. I’m walking to work most every day; it’s more than two and a half miles each way, but I’ve never liked commuting to work on the subway, it probably doesn’t take that much more time by foot anyway, and it’s great exercise. I’m taking lots and lots of notes, and getting in the habit of writing everything down — or recording them in the impressive, Omni Outliner Pro-powered Kinkless Getting Things Done system — as quickly as I possibly can, before I forget the dozens and dozens of details that get thrown at me every day.

Perhaps most importantly for those reading this weblog, I’m also hiring several full-time positions for the design group that I lead, and I’m looking to do this pretty soon. So maybe you’re an awesome visual designer, information architect, or design technologist and you want to come work with me?
