From NY to SF...it's hot Organic Nation. If you can find this stuff, holy cats. Who knew ginger could snap, crackle and pop?

Ever wonder: "What exactly do they do?
This summer 7 students were chosen to participate in Organic's
internship program, the Farm. As the best, brightest and freshest
talent they are learning to cultivate exceptional experiences for
clients while serving all departments across the network. In addition
to rolling up their sleeves our Farmers are getting a taste of what's
growing in each department.
In the past few weeks they have had the opportunity to meet the leaders
of the Technology department, Creative department and this week they
will meet with our San Francisco Engagement Management team in our four
part speaker series; "Get Acquainted".
On Monday, July 21st, the Farm invites the Organic network to meet the
leaders of the Engagement Management department and learn about what
they do.
"Hint: Someone has to talk to our client"

I've seen a bunch of views of the Earth...from mountains, from satellites, from Google's camera cars driving around my hood...but this.
If you were hanging out 31 million miles away from where I'm sitting, the Earth would look something like this to you through your powerful camera. Click here to watch the video...seeing the moon pass by is the freakiest thing I've seen since visiting the Arch in St. Louis way, way, way after closing time.
Big ups, NASA.

On the bright side:
On the down side, this email went to DET-ALL:
We have some bad news regarding the fruit/milk/OJ deliveries every week. We received a phone call from our delivery company this morning saying they would no longer be able to provide their services to us, as the gas was just too much for them. They are located in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area, so it's just too much for them to take on any longer. In the mean time, we cannot guarantee fruit/milk/OJ until we can find another company who will deliver. We have a few other possibilities, but for now, please bear with us during this difficult time.

WASHINGTON -- The Internal Revenue Service today announced an increase in the optional standard mileage rates for the final six months of 2008. Taxpayers may use the optional standard rates to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.
The rate will increase to 58.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven from July 1, 2008, through Dec. 31, 2008. This is an increase of eight (8) cents from the 50.5 cent rate in effect for the first six months of 2008, as set forth in Rev. Proc. 2007-70.
(Booyah!)

DETROIT -- Whene'er I find myself in the Motor City, I take a moment to kick around the office of Creative guru Scott Lange...a long-standing favorite of all Organics who have had the pleasure to make his acquaintance.
Scott's office stands as a living monument to interesting trinkets and, if he's around, stories to go with 'em. This masterpiece -- an original poster of the 1985-ish Michigan Panthers Cheerleading Sqaud of the now defunct USFL brought to you by your Metro Detroit Dodge Dealers-- will be the first of what I hope to be many bloggish explorations of this impressive collection.
Try, if you can, to allow the eye to be drawn away from the fearsome Panther's Eyes for a moment. Near the middle of this pack of Michigan's finest b-list cheerleading corps (impressively including two gentlemen) are two old school Chrysler products from the K-car era. One is drawn back to the days of the Iococca Era -- straight talk, can-do attitude and "lead, follow or get out of the way". These are the Dodge Daytona and the vague "Dodge Convertible" Just imagine the wind blowing through your hair on I-75 in that convertible Dodge Aries...freedom defined.
And there is more to be found as we explore to the left of the frame and see a strange cloud of smoke (click on the picture for a larger view). For details, we asked Scott himself.
"I imagine it to be either a smoke machine that didn't get going very well or, more likely, I'd see it being the photographer's van running just outside of the shot," Lange said.
