Today Tinyproj officially turns three … days (old), and what a ride it’s been so far. I thought it would be fun to do a quick breakdown of the first email we sent today (and if you didn’t get it, sign up for next time).
It’s great to see a chord has been struck with folks — over 4,500…
I just launched Tinyproj, the latest in my line of web service experiments. Tinyproj is simple: it helps connect developers, designers, copywriters, and illustrators with respectful, interesting, and paid short-term projects. These projects go out every Saturday to almost 1,000 rad folks. It’s just $25 to get started if you’ve got a project to offer, and free to sign up if you’re looking for work. I think this fills a real need and will hopefully be of great use to people on both sides of the equation, especially given that it’s a more ethical alternative than asking people to work on spec. Nonetheless, check it out, sign up if it sounds interesting to you, and stay tuned — I think great things will come of this.
PS. Discussion on HN
Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.
Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.
There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.
But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?
High five, America!
