Innovation is everywhere. Not only can technology be innovative, art and music can be too.  The Innovation and Economic Development team at ONEin3 wanted to show this with innoPOP! series, pop-ups which show that innovation is in every area of Boston and in every industry.

The first pop-up will be taking place this Wednesday at Me, You and the I.D.’s second event, Innovation and Art. Bostonians will come together at the space at Neoscape to meet and mingle with Innovative local Boston companies, including Artaic (a mosaic tile design company), Artists for Humanity (a non-profit which trains youth in art and design careers), The Duplessy Foundation (an organization that mentors local artists while revitalizing Boston’s least developed neighborhoods), Project Repat (a company which upcycles your t-shirts into an awesome blanket), and Turning Art (an artwork membership program).

Performing at the event will be Boston based guitarist, Shun Ng.   Shun performs often with Quincy Jones, who says about him, “When you see Shun Ng, you won’t believe your eyes nor your ears — he belies all stereotypes, all premonitions. I was simply blown away by both his soul and his science — his creativity and his uniqueness is astounding.”

This is a free event and is part of Idea Week.

Recently ONEin3 came up with an absolutely brilliant idea; Throwback Thursday Blogs. Basically we felt bad leaving (hundreds) of blogs in the bowels of our site and wanted to bring back and refresh some of the old, but still relevant content. This time around we’re reaching back to a blog that’s already been refreshed. A throwback-throwback if you will. In this blog ONEin3 former manager Devin Cole explores and explains what a toonie is, why it’s different from a townie, and why, especially as a ONEin3er, you want to be one. So scroll down and learn about the charms of Charlestown circa 2010 (trust us, not much has changed).

Once again, it’s Friday and, in addition to being worn out from a long work week, I’m also struggling with the worst head cold I’ve had since we pretended to fly to Nigeria for social studies in 2nd grade with Mr. Hritz.

So, I’m going to do the lazy thing and repost an old blog, but I have a good reason.

I still check the old wordpress ONEin3 site and I’ve noticed that a lot of people have been finding a post I did about being a Toonie in Charlestown. They’ve been google searching for answers to that age-old question “what the hell is a toonie?”

Ok ladies and gents, a Toonie is the opposite of a Townie. A Townie grew up in The Town (aka Charlestown) and a Toonie is a yuppie who moved there. In The Town, Ben Affleck is the Townie and the lady with the underdeveloped character is a Toonie.

Follow me below the fold for my account of living in CTown: “Devin’s Life as a Toonie.”

I read Kendall’s blog about visiting Charlestown last week and I thought it would be good to fill in the story with my experience living in The Town.

Every Thursday is ONEin3’s Throwback Thursday! We dig through the bowels of our blog and pick out the most popular and still relevant blogs to reintroduce to you! We love seeing what our forebearers did and we hope you do too! This week we’ve found a blog that’s actually the result of a small contest. ONEin3 asked readers to submit their favorite local hangouts and, if the reader’s entry won, ONEin3 would take ‘em there for drinks! Sweet deal, huh? Anyway, this post doesn’t introduce us to one majorly cool bar, but 13! Read on for the recommendations of your fellow ONEin3ers!

Last week, we asked you for your favorite local hangout spots. It was an offer you couldn’t refuse.

I mean really, how could anyone, ANYONE pass up an opportunity to hang out with the one and only Meg Reilly, very popular Boston blogger, and me? Not to mention, drinks on us! There is no better deal in America.

Well you guys brought the noise. 12 of you posted your locals.
