Conversation with a Scammer 07.12.09
In the last week, I’ve been looking for somewhere to live in Sydney when I go across there for a design contract. Whilst I’ve had a fairly good experience with most of the people offering their flats, I’ve had some other ‘interesting’ responses… including the below from my newest friend, Jennifer Olsen:

MIT’s Persona’s 25.08.09
