Welcome to The Not An Employee Blog
We planned to add a blog to the static site from the very beginning, although we had it in our “someday” to-do lists. But we have had such a wonderful response to the site launch on Friday, I’ve hustled together a theme so we could launch the blog right away. Thank you to everyone who has written to us privately and shared our links with your friends and associates. We’d love to hear more about what you’d like to see done with this site. We have some ideas of our own, but if there are resources you’d like or tools you’d like to see to help you make your way through the world as not-employees–please leave us a comment.

Lovely site. I am not an employee. Your launch inspired me so I have a post in my hopper about not being an employee. I’ll link to you when it goes live. Good luck!

This is great! I’m looking forward to the opportunity to mix it up at SXSW. I hope to catch up with you all.

I’m intrigued and inspired to see what this becomes. The quotes and philosophy are interesting thus far. I look forward to contributing. Can someone translate or explain “Expeditus a Dominis” for me?

That may be a good subject for a competition someday soon. Or a good practical test of your social network: if you can’t find anybody you know personally who can translate it, maybe you should think about why–and grow your network until you find them.
But then again that isn’t something you still can’t do for yourself. So: we translate it as “unencumbered by masters”.

Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this! Too bad I can’t make it to SXSW, but have fun down there…

I took the liberty of creating a syndicated feed for you at livejournal. It is at http://syndicated.livejournal.com/notanemployee/

This bears several disturbing marks of a secret society. If we are going to do this we must remember that we are not superior, we are not elite, and that our beliefs must always be subject to critical thought and are not a set of dogma set in stone. We do not want to end up a cult!

Katie,
Generally, at least in my limited experience in these matters, even your less secretive Secret Societies tend not to have well-designed public web sites. It kindof belies the whole “secret” thing in a big way, don’t you think?
Now. This phrase “must always”, juxtaposed with your admonition against dogma. Tell us more about how that works.
