Geoff From P'UNK AVE

Big thanks to Geoff DiMasi for finding our blog. Sorry about the restrictions that would not let you post. i am more then happy to post what you sent in your email to us however. We look forward to attending the meeting this Thursday and If you would like, we extend an invitation to you and others to come sit with us and discuss Interaction Design. We will be meeting at the POPE. There is a post below explaining more about it. thanks again for stopping by Geoff.

Thanks for posting on the Junto. As bit of a background, we started this up in March 07. It is a revival of a group that Ben Franklin started to "provide a structured forum for discussion" and "to debate questions of morals, politics, and natural philosophy and to exchange knowledge of business affairs" with a

group of people that "all shared a spirit of inquiry and a desire to improve themselves, their community, and to help others."

We try to do the same.

We are going to be discussing a cool article written by Malcolm Gladwell at this Thursday's Junto.

Please be prepared if you are planning on coming!

This is the info on it:

Junto: Urban Planning & The Workplace

Thursday, October 18, 2007, 6 pm

This month's session on Urban Planning & The Workplace will be led by me. For the first time, there is a homework component. It is a short and stimulating read by Malcolm Gladwell, entitled "Designs for Working."

http://www.gladwell.com/2000/2000_12_11_a_working.htm

(You can read it online or download a PDF off this page.)

Published in 2000, it seems very relevant to many of the ideas and concepts that we have discussed already at the previous Juntos.

I am really looking forward to this discussion.

If you pass along the word to someone not on the email list, please let them know about the article.

What to bring:

Once again, a potluck of sorts... we provide the beer and best tomato pie in the city... you bring something to share.

Where:

P'unk Avenue

1168 E. Passyunk Avenue

Philadelphia 19147

Thanks,

Geoff DiMasi

P.S. Next month's Junto will be on design.
