While social or peer-to-peer lending isn’t new (in Internet time), what is new is the recognition Zopa received this month as the world’s “most threatening non-bank competitor.” 
Amidst the steady stream of stories about the worsening credit crunch and tightening lending standards, Zopa’s style of social or peer-to-peer (P2P) lending stands as a virtual beacon for beleaguered borrowers and serves as a potential investment alternative for would-be P2P consumers-turned- lenders.

For the last several years, I taught an advertising class as an adjunct professor at Concordia College. It was a rewarding experience. As part of my class requirements last year, students were to start and maintain a blog. One of those students was a promising and bright designer by the name of Christopher Nuernberger. His blog was entitled ”Shades of Gray” and he is still blogging today under the same title about a year after his graduation.
In fact, if you are just starting out in design, marketing, or communications, Christopher’s thoughts and insights might be especially helpful for you. Many of his posts deal with the challenges of getting started in the business, and he is writing this from the relevant viewpoint of his own personal perspective. I heard from Chris recently, and he now has a great job and many regular blog readers. Good job, Christopher.

Just got back from a week in the wilds of Utah hunting light and photographic landscape icons with my camera. There are a few photos from the trip here on Flickr. I was offline (= downtime) for about a week, and that felt good until I attempted to catch up on all my RSS subscriptions. Yikes! Why didn’t the world take a time out while I was gone? On a side note, I can’t believe how much richer (and accurate) the colors appear on Flickr with the Safari Browser rather than Firefox.
