May 26th, 2011
“You get what you pay for.” We hear it all the time stated as fact, but does that make it true? Or is it just a cliché, a trite oversimplification? Maybe… But let’s look deeper. (more…)

Back to School
May 4th, 2011
You don’t know what you don’t know before you know it.
For that reason, I’m a real fan of ongoing education throughout one’s career. I’ve learned most of my craft by doing, but realize that every now and then you need to stop “chopping the wood and spend time sharpening the saw”. (more…)
The Windowfarms Project
March 7th, 2011
When I was living in Brooklyn, I had a neighbor with a crazy idea – to grow her own food in her apartment year round. I could see the vertical water bottles she used in her early attempt in her courtyard facing window whenever I took out the garbage. I thought to myself “Britta is crazy.

Love is in the air and for me it has little to do with Valentine’s Day. My heart is going pitter-patter for the season that lies ahead.
Buy me
February 1st, 2011
Commercials have always fascinated me. It occurred to me a few years ago that televisions only exist for the purpose of selling us stuff. Broadcast companies are able to spend millions on 22 minutes of our favorite sitcom because advertisers are willing to pay them millions to show eight minutes of advertisements during the show. Some of the most memorable stories, characters, and moments of my life were made possible by Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s, and Ford. And it works! Americans watch, on average, four hours of television every day (or about an hour of commercials every day).
