I’ve been working in Detroit for a month now and I’ve been trying to think of what to blog about it — how I would describe it to other people. This post might sum it up for me.
First a little background:
I work in the middle of downtown. For a downtown area, Detroit seems unusually, if not eerily empty during the middle of the day. But in front of my building, there are usually a fair amount of people hanging around and you get to see some nice “city action” every once in a while. Today took the cake, though.
In front of my building, there was a homeless guy hawking friggin’ maxi pads for a dollar. He had a bag of Kotex, enthusiastically yelling, “Maxi pads! One dollar!”
That’s all you need to know about Detroit.

I am just impressed to see the entrepreneurial spirit alive and well on the streets Detroit. Good for that guy.

Want to start your private office arms race right now?
I just got my own USB rocket launcher
Awsome thing.
Plug into your computer and you got a remote controlled office missile launcher with 360 degrees horizontal and 45 degree vertival rotation with a range of more than 6 meters – which gives you a coverage of 113 square meters round your workplace.

Check out the video they have on the page.
