Craigslist and cottage industries
Craigslist and cottage industries
02/01/2005 09:26 PMIn NYC, when you don't have a car and you need to move stuff that
won't fit in a taxi and isn't enough that you need an entire huge
moving van, you call a "man with a van".** I recently used the
services of a guy named Paul, recommended by a friend of a friend.
After packing the back of his truck with my things, we set off for our
destination, chatting along the way. He asked me how I'd found him and
we eventually got to talking about craigslist.
Paul told me that these days, he got most of his jobs from CL and
only one or two a week from personal referrals. I found that
surprising and when I pressed him further, he told me that because of
CL, he's been able to do pursue moving (which he really likes doing)
as a full-time career. I can't remember the exact quote, but Paul said
something to the effect that he can't believe he's getting away with
starting a full-time business on CL without it costing him a single
dime.
I'd never really thought about it before, but in some ways, CL
helps lots of people build businesses cheaper and more effectively
than more "robust", complex, and expensive enterprise software
solutions. Movers are
just one example. CL can help you find employees
for your business. If you've got a van, you can pick up free furniture and
electronics around the city, fix or refurbish, and sell it. You
can start a business doing computer
troubleshooting, piano lessons, buying
and fixing up old motorcycles, or escort and sensual massage services. And if you need
something done for your business but don't have the money to pay for
it, you can always barter goods or services
in exchange. These are just the obvious examples. Does anyone know of
anyone using craigslist in more creative ways to make a living or
other examples of people succeeding in business using CL?
** Don't know how this evolved, but folks in the "man with a van"
profession like to rhyme the names of their businesses. My guy was
"Call Paul to Haul", but you will also probably find "Chuck/Buck with
a Truck", "Cory with a Lorry", "Schmuck with a Truck", "Call Jack to
Pack", and so on. (Oh, I'd recommend using Paul if you need a man with
a van...contact me
if you'd like his info.)

sun and sand of the shore and sea. This Topic in Depth examines
several topics of interest from food chain on a beach to coral reefs.
The first site (1), from the National Park Service, offers a look at
the exceptionally beautiful Canaveral National Seashore. The site
gives information about the flora and fauna found at the seashore as
well a great photo gallery. The second link(2) leads to a white paper
by Peter Entnoyer, Chad Nelson, and Kevin Ranker of the Surfider
Foundation on the value of beach sand in the food chain. At the third
site (3) from Mother Jones, visitors will find an article about the
status of coral reefs. The fourth site, (4) from Ask a Scientist
provides several questions and answers about plants and algae. The
next link leads to the Online Marine Picture Book (5), a great
resource for great photos from everything from crabs to starfish. The
last site, from SUNY Stony Brook(6), provides a great glossary of
marine biology related terms from Abyssal Plain to Zooxanthellae.

Only the Shadow Knows
Only the Shadow Knows
01/03/2005 05:48 PM
« Careful, he's armed with punctuation and he knows how to use
it! »
The first time I saw the black silhouette I flinched and momentarily
panicked thinking that someone was behind me. After that, I merely
thought it was creepy until I deigned to read the text on the wall
next to him explaining the dot, the comma
and the shadow man which made me think of it as an artifact of a
time when any stupid idea with enough internet buzz could get funded.
It is a reminder and warning of absurdity past, present and future.
Even the blurb is so rich in hyperbole that it reads like one of the
dot com era business plans.
The dot and the comma are small but very powerful tools. The dot is
used to complete promises and judgments, by moving the comma you
destroy and create. Both bring pleasure and sorrow, therefore it
demands a special responsibility from their users. The dot and the
comma are viewed in current society as the sun and the moon. The
shadow man is the often invisible bearer of responsibility that makes
things work. In the briefcase he carries his tools, the dot and the
comma.
Who knew that punctuation could be transformed into celestial bodies
after years of thinking they were the domain of the punctuation
pedants? I noticed before Christmas that someone, we don't know who,
viewed the post-modern man as an empty canvas begging for
embellishment and gave him a cheshire grin, a sporty tie and
mustanaamio in his briefcase with EZ-peel stickers. Sadly, they were
removed but I agree that this empty void begs for flair as the dot and
the comma at least light up thus giving them a purpose if not meaning.
Perhaps a lightbulb should be added to the top of his head with a
socket. He's like a naked Mr. Potato Head.
Weird books Amazon has recommended me lately:
And I'm slowly catching up with my pre- and post-holiday email for
those who might be waiting for me to reply as the wireless at home
seems to be very tempermental. The photos from Tunisia will have to
wait until the weekend since the colour film won't be back until
