"China's North Korea Trade Best Birthday Gift For Kim"bahahahahaha, Bloomberg. you are the best.
on a more serious note,
a neat post about Dodd-Frank's Conflict Minerals Provision. (oh Fast Company, you and your playful font.) it's relevant to the industry my company is involved in, so there's that. i kind of wish Apple - who is one of our clients (definitely not as glamorous as it may seem) - expanded more on this topic in its annual Supplier Responsibility Progress Report. that would've been nice to see.
also, CHINHANDS. tell me about your causes! educate meee. ♥ i have special places in my heart for LiNK (Liberty in North Korea), Kiva, and my local animal shelters. and Heifer International is awesome, too.
[completely unrelated]: i took something called the
BEM Sex Role Inventory.
You scored 60.833 out of 100 masculine points, 40.833 out of 100 feminine points, and 60 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points.
OBVIOUSLY, I'M A MAN. GO MAKE ME A STEAK, WIMMINS.
