What caught my eye when reading this blog?
Wieden Kennedy Portland is looking for creative talent:
http://www.wk.com/seeking
Just the application process made me want to go work there.
So I applied.
Then I got a mail from Robin Rosenberg:
Hi Christian,
You sound like an interesting person. We want to know more. We want to
see what you can do. Send us something before January 1 and maybe win a
prize.The content is up to you, but here’s our guideline for format: a pdf
document, 20 pages or less, formatted 11×17 landscape, no larger than
6MB. It will be viewed on screen and not printed, so design with this
in mind.
So I got a bit over a month to make a 20-page .pdf that shows what I can do.
I have no idea what I’m going to do but I think it’s going to be an interesting journey.
And I’m going to document that journey right here.
And some other stuff.
For instance, who am I? What is Portland like? Do I like advertising? (I’m writing all this is one big stream of consciousness so I know what to write when I run out of stuff to write) Where does my favourite media “the interwebs” fit in? 20 page pdf? Portofolio or Nofortolio? Portland has a lot of microbreweries. WANT! DO NOT WANT! (can’t find one, maybe later). If I was W+K, would I hire me? Tire-bouschtroumpf ou schtroumpf-bouchon?
All that and more, coming up.
why “failing”? every “attempt” is a succes in one way or another. and don’t try to get them to like you…you are who you are. some will like you, some won’t. even if they don’t like you, they can still take you
good luck! and see you…maybe 
your postings on W+K’s blogs are inaccurate. suggest you do better research before hanging yourself out the window.
I know, I meant to say no need to install the shockwave plugin. Doesn’t make much difference though.

Hello Christian,
I’m working on an article on the WK Seeking ‘experiment’. I think you would make a great interview for the piece. I searched high and low for your email, but think this may be the only avenue.
Would like to hear from you soon. My email is as provided
Cheers
This is all very interesting and underwhelming.
