On WWYD: A Job After Graduation
here's what I would do: take the job, and continue to apply for jobs while working there (before and after work hours, obviously). that way, you're earning an income while continuing to look for better opportunities- and if one comes along and you get a job offer, you can put in your two weeks at the campus job and get outta there. in this economy, it can literally take a year to find a specific job in a specific field that you feel good about accepting. so, rather than take a year unpaid and livin with your parents while finding that job, use that year to make some cash during the job search. if you manage to put away some money in savings during that time, that will help you out so much when you start your new job, etc. and if it doesn't take very long to get an offer, even better. certainly you can leave the campus job on good terms as long as you put in enough notice...

@Sarah Todd@twitter the way I get it nice and crispy is by battering the tofu cubes in cornstarch before frying them. you don't have to use a lot of it to get a really nice... crust?

On The Progressive Office: Williamsburg and Greenpoint
I live directly across the street from Gimme Coffee, but I usually just work from actual home because I have a puppy and I pretty much can't bear to leave her at home alone BUT when I need to get real serious about business I pop over to Gimme. They're nice and their coffee is amazing, though kinda pricey. Seconded about renting a workspace though- my whole company is a startup so we all work from home except for our developer who rents a desk for $130/mo at The Productive in Midtown. It's an option. If you don't have a puppy, I guess.
