Last month was Discover CSI month and we held a number of amazing workshops profiling our tenants at CSI. One of them was co-presented by two of our tenants, Behrouz Hariri and Blair Francey, and titled "How to Work with Graphic Design(ers)". It aimed to bring new freelance graphic designers and clients together (possibly for the first time) so that they could better understand each other's needs, objectives, and expectations to avoid the kind of frustration and miscommunication that even I have seen happen (on both sides).

CSI is currently on the hunt for two new exceptional volunteers to become a part of our team! If you feel that you might be that person, please read the full volunteer posting that is attached below! Or if you know someone that would be great, feel free to forward the link to the blog.

One of our tenants, Qasim Virjee (Design Guru), recently posted a blog for who he says is "anyone who can't afford to commercially hire a developer to create a new blog for them, or anyone who wants to use a blog to truly connect with people and aspects of their online identity". If either of those feel like it's describing you, we would highly recommend reading it: http://designguru.org/blog/130110/state-web-and-why-we-love-posterous
