On Sunday, the public is invited to become part of her work. All VW bus owners past and present are invited to come to the museum between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to share their adventures with Weber in her mobile recording studio, “Mr. Orange,” a restored 1971 Volkswagen Campmobile. These recordings will be added to the audio component of her project.

But Big Blue will never know that because I will never tell him. He will never hear from me that he doesn’t exist, that he is simple metal and fuel lines and electrical current. I’ll tell him good job, talk him through hills, and I’ll even let him steer once in a while, because I can see us being friends. But I’ll never let him think he is just a 1968 vw bus.

Today’s Question: Would you be willing to share your Facebook information with potential employers?</p> </blockquote> <p>This is an interesting one for me, since the heart of my job is social media.</p> <p>First and without hesitation I’d decline. We’re in an interview to get to know each other. I’m fairly certain you could ascertain from a search - or even my twitter account - exactly how horrible I am.</p> <p>Next, my account has admin rights and responsibilities to more than 30 active pages and a few apps. I would never put a brand at risk - even momentarily - for a potential job. Any firm that asked me for that is not a place I’d want to work. And if I hadn’t signed an NDA for the interview, I’d strongly consider outing the company name and request online. <em>If I’m not passing a national security test, folks, you’re out of line.</em></p> <p>But because of the nature of my work, I would have to demonstrate my portfolio, and I think I should approach this the way artists do online with documentation and samples… and I’d encourage other content or social media specialists to do the same.</p>http://juliaschrenkler.com/post/19706810334http://juliaschrenkler.com/post/19706810334Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:38:00 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EQiEJk-o5WA?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>I am now marking my page, don’t let me forget this page, don’t let me forget this page, don’t let me forget this page…</p> </blockquote> <p>Love love love. h/t Levi Asher of <a href="http://litkicks.com/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><a href="http://litkicks.com/">http://litkicks.com/</a></a></p>http://juliaschrenkler.com/post/19624766315http://juliaschrenkler.com/post/19624766315Tue, 20 Mar 2012 07:59:06 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m14ux6Bd6D1qf96tto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Anyone up for a Hibbing run timed over Dylan Days?</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lookhigh.tumblr.com/post/19570795833/it-was-50-years-ago-today-that-bobby-z-learned-to">lookhigh</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>It was 50 years ago today that Bobby Z learned to play…</p> <p>(via <a href="http://albumcovergallery.blogspot.com/2011/02/bob-dylans-album-covers-1962-1979.html">Album Cover Gallery: Bob Dylan’s Album Covers, 1962-1979</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://juliaschrenkler.com/post/19586347834http://juliaschrenkler.com/post/19586347834Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:37:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0ybz8knZr1r9164to1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Thank you Internet, for combining two of my favorite things: VW Campers and dogs.</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://maddieonthings.com/post/19371259577/austin-tx">maddieonthings</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Austin, TX</p> </blockquote>http://juliaschrenkler.com/post/19426734164http://juliaschrenkler.com/post/19426734164Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:30:26 -0500<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZWy_7eHBLRE?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>If you edited the entirety of the <em>Simpsons</em> down to just the <a href="http://youtu.be/ZWy_7eHBLRE">Itchy and Scatchy bits</a>, how long would the video be?
