what’s your coping mechanism?

Lum’s Bar­be­cue, Junc­tion, Texas. This is where I nor­mally stop for lunch when I drive bet­ween Alpine and Aus­tin. Just over half­way. That smoker’s been there over 3o years, they tell me. And the guy who smo­kes the meat has been there even lon­ger. One more rea­son to love living out here. Peo­ple were quite surprised […]

His work acknowledges the absurdity of workaday life, while also encouraging employees to respond with passion, creativity, and non-conformity...   MacLeod’s work is undeniably an improvement over the office schlock of yore. At its best, it’s more honest, and more cognizant of the entrepreneurial psyche, while still retaining some idealism.
