I’ve been following her and several other local bloggers on Twitter for awhile now, but haven’t read many of their personal blogs. I found this entry that led to this article about how the millennial generation needs more work experience. I was reminded of the Navy’s study regarding this generation and also of how I could never really identify wholly with either Gen-X or with the Millennials. Having been born in 1980 I find myself without a generational tribe to identify. I carry some of the angst and self reliance of the older Gen X, but I also understand the need to be connected 24/7. I don’t get MySpace at all though.

What I do get is papercraft. I’ll be making Ceiling Cat in papercraft form very soon, if for no other reason that to freak my kids out. Found via Papercraft World. What’s even weirder is that my boss walked over while I was looking at it and laughing. He was like, “Yeah, I saw that a couple of days ago.” Pretty sure that my boss isn’t a papercraft guy, I deduced that this must have hit BoingBoing recently. I was totally right. I’ll have to squeeze this in between Volume 1 (finished) and Volume 2 (printed but not started) of Yamaha’s “Ultra-Realistic MT-01” (“…so real that nobody has ever seen anything like it!”)
