What others say
IT Reviews: Top it off with a simple keyword search and you can
quickly find out whether a favourite food is eating up the air miles on
its way to the local supermarket shelves.
Worldchanging: I was pleased to discover that the app
Seasons ($1.99) now has data for the United States.
Apple: Follow the seasons.
Vegging Out: They started their iPhone app just for fun, but it soon
blossomed into an indispensable guide to seasonal fruit and veg – a
harvest calendar for the whole year that you can put in your pocket.
Geeks: Really nice idea for your wellbeing and your waistline.
Ecoki (Comment): Awesome! Thanks for the idea.
GOOD: Superb Idea: An App That Tells You What’s in Season
Foodielady: If you want to contribute in helping the environment by
buying local and eating products that are in season like nature
intended, check out the iphone app seasons.
Envirogadget: There’s no doubt that the iPhone platform has led to a
huge torrent of great applications, and the Seasons iPhone
application is a perfect example of that.
Bikerumors: Are there bicycles involved? Well, only if you ride to the
farmer’s market and buy your food locally, but we thought this might
be interesting for those trying to eat locally and/or avoid stuff that
has to be shipped from halfway around the world (or at least the flip
side of the equator).
Allansiew: Knowing what fruits are coming in season that is what I
call cool.

Anautomated-solar powered bike sharing program is among several initiativesthe city will implement to create healthier places.
B-cycle has partnered with Humana and Trek Bicycles to bring bike-sharingto the US. We have already launched in cities like Denver, Chicago, andDes Moines, and will be demonstrating the system to the city of Nashville inCentennial Park on Tuesday, September 28th from noon until 3pm.
WHAT
· Check a bike in/out just like you were a member of a B-cycle networkin Nashville
· Test-ride a B-cycle
· Support cycling and alternative transportation efforts in Nashville
WHERE
· Centennial Park in front of the Parthenon
WHEN
· Tuesday, September 28th, 12-3pm
Hope to see you there!

Cheap Monday
Let me tell you the tale of a weekday wonderland that starts withMonday...a day when living is easy, denim is cheap, and fashion isfun once more.
The label now synonymous with offbeat Swedish style, skin-tightdenim, and an audacious approach to price, Cheap Monday hasforged a legacy of accessible, on trend, off-kilter designs that havegarnered an international cult following.
With a winning combo of skinny silhouette and autobahn straightleg jeans, quirky, wearable fashion, and a lean price tag, the brandhas been flying off the racks of boutique retailers worldwide fasterthan you can say cheap! cheap!
The designers take a lighthearted approach, focussing on theirdesign process, keeping things fun by not taking themselves ortheir creations too seriously, with the philosophy that fashionshould be fun to make, fun to wear.
Still favouring a hand-crafted touch, the designers are alwaysinnovating. Cheap Monday is ever-expanding, with a broad rangeof influences past and present helping to shape each collection.
With the recent installment of Ann-Sofie Back to the design team,Cheap Monday continues to forge onwards and upwards, andfurther off the beaten track.
And Tuesday? Well that's another story for another day.

I thought I had the best two jobs in the world. That is, being an artist who also works for an
amazing not-for-profit that supports artists who have an intellectual disability to exhibit
internationally. Clearly it gets better. My most admired co-worker is a jeweller who just
completed her Masters in the U.S. by making a piece a day, has a full-time job as a Gallery
Manager (and works unpaid overtime because she loves it) and wants to do her PhD...
I am visiting NYC in late June, and would love to swing by to drop a Paul Hogan/Crocodile
Hunter impersonation on your ears.

So inspired by your site alone and what others had to say about working for your company. I
know you have your offices in San Fran- but... It doesn't ever hurt to ask- Do you need any
reps in Los Angeles? I live in LA - so I'd like to work in LA. Just thought I'd ask! Love BIG!
Thanks- Maria. 323.243.5500

to be GREEN at something new. Your sight is motivating and exciting. I would say yes right
now. I live in Arlington, Tx in the middle of the DFW's vibrant metropolis. Arlington is the new

I met my partner online and moved to Vancouver to be with him. This year I curated the first
art+social media exhibition anywhere at the gallery where I work. Connecting people is my
thing. I will send my resume' pretty soon. I joined AirBnB as an apartment owner but it feels I
should be also on the other side of the fence.
Aug 14, 2010 AshleyS said...
Thanks for sharing your story, Chris. Joining the AirBnB Team is my "dream job."
While hosting travelers in my home, I had pretty much come to the conclusion that I will be
moving back to the West Coast at some point in the near future. Then I found the job posting
listing my skill set, and it just seems so serendipitous!
Its like when a friend and I were lost in Rome at 3am singing and dancing to the Circus Song
in the street, and, I kid you not, a group of fully dressed clowns danced with us then went
along their way down the street. We looked up and were at our hotel! SO incredible and yes,
it really did happen. So, I believe that sometimes things just line up the way they meant to
be.
Hope to meet you all soon!
Aug 16, 2010 Micki McGuire said...
Wow, I love your story Chris. There is nothing better than working at a place that truly
inspires you and your colleagues become like family. Learning from each other and pushing
the envelope on creativity and changing an industry is when magic happens. I am currently

Love the story... it makes me want to join the AIRBNB team. I am based in the Philippines so
I guess I'll be a great addition to your team if youre looking for presence here in my country.
Im planning to apply soon... hopefully theres a need for Philippines-based reps.
Good luck to AIRBNB...
By the way, Im going on a trip to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia next year... this site will
definitely help me find an inexpensive accommodation in those countries.

Airbnb is better than the Olympics.
This post brought to you by the Airbnb Coalition to Hire Cool People Who CanDo Cool Things Well (ACTHCPWCDCTW)
Have you ever had the talent and drive to potentially compete at the Olympics? I did. So
why, before my prime, did I retire last summer to join Airbnb? Frankly put, I think Airbnb is
better than the Olympics. Its the most amazing thing, experience, movement, idea, and team
I've ever been a part of.
You must think I'm crazy. Most people did. Most people haven't experienced Airbnb like I
have.
My name is Christopher Lukezic and I'm part of the Airbnb Team.
My previous life (2006 US Indoor Championships. I won.)
If you've ever stepped foot in our SF office/apartment* you'd immediately experience a sliver
of the energy that drove to me to do what I did. More akin to a club house than an office, it's
a place where a flash mob dance party with co-workers at 2PM is considered commonplace.
It's a place I miss when I'm away for too long. More importantly it is the place where a group
of people, who over the past 8 months have become like family, meet daily to build a
company they believe in.
At Airbnb, we don't get down, we get up. Catch some Air!
When was the last time you were in awe of those you work with? I am daily. The diversity of
talent within the walls of this place boggles my mind. Now that I'm here, I realize that we
could probably be doing anything, in so much as we were doing it together. Whatever we
were doing, we would not only succeed, but likely revolutionize an industry. A bold statement
for sure, but one that pretty much sums up the depth of belief I have invested in those
around me. Building something with a inspiring team has been infinitely more rewarding than
the solitary pursuit for a gold medal.
The Airbnb Team
My motivation to join Airbnb was driven by the desire to push the boundaries of my
intellectual and creative abilities by pursuing a challenge where the confluence of ideas
meets the reality of the market. Right now, Airbnb is at that intersection and tipping point,
where the mass market starts to adopt your ideas. We are propagating the future of travel
and pushing an industry to re-imagine itself. Audacious goals to say the least, but we didn't
set out to do anything less than start a travel revolution.
Innovate and revolutionize
Its not about efficiency, its about fun. Working hard is easy. Being inspired by those
around you and having the time of your life while producing more than you ever
have is unique. We aren't your typical start-up.
Here are some companies we admire, Zappo's, Apple, Weiden + Kennedy, and 37
Signals. We want to be like them, but better.

If you ever stop by our digs, you'll usually find me sitting in one of these, working on one
of these, and sipping this. If I'm not, I'm probably in the corner napping on this.
We are currently hiring for 20 positions. If you are a cool person, doingcool things well, we want you!
Check back soon as we'll be highlighting the other 30 employees who make Airbnb so
special.
*We've outgrown the apartment, but don't worry, we've commissioned renowned architecture
firm O+A to build us the perfect home! Coming soon...
