I was recently thinking about this, I'd love to know. I find myself referring to "the design community" when talking to coworkers, and for me DN is the at the core of that. I'd be interested in seeing how large it actually is, where it is, etc. A survey would be cool.

The Daily Routine:

1. http://www.dummymag.com

2. http://pitchfork.com (yeah, yeah)

3. http://www.factmag.com

2 alarms: 7:45am, 8:00am.

I usually have a detailed description of each page, an interactive prototype (using Marvel), and youtube videos of specific animations (using Quartz Composer). And everything's sent via email.

I use email and Google Hangout for communication, and Marvel and Google Docs for sharing prototypes and detailed info.

I think it's about time I made the switch to a centralized communication platform, though.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. As of this morning, I was accepted to Art Center College of Design's Interaction Design program, so I'll be transferring there next fall rather than taking the job.

There's so much more for me to learn that I'll know I'll kick myself 10 years down the line for not taking this opportunity. You guys/girls really helped to give me some perspective, I know if I don't take this time to study intensively now, I most likely won't in the future.

Haha I love that poem. I read it in AP English in high school, looks like my school experience has been more useful than I remembered.

Seriously, though, the 4 years to 30-40 years statement was surprisingly effective at giving me some perspective. I guess I feel as if I know what I want already, and staying in school for 3 more years is a waste of time and money. But 3 years is insignificant in comparison to the remainder of my life.

I was thinking about making something like this recently, actually. I'm a freshman in college and I'd be down to help out. I have a few design friends who might be interested as well.
