How education threatens creativity …
Agreed--I've been institutionalized/crippled by the blank canvas problem

⇒ Marissa Mayer's Stanford talk

warning: 49" video

innovation keypoints:

• ideas come from everywhere


• share everything you can

for me, it depends on your workplace.

• You're brilliant. We're hiring

i.e. surround yourself with brilliant people

• a license to pursue dreams


• innovation, not instant perfection

the key is iteration; learn from mistakes. Part of the reason I left graphic design for web design

• data is a-political


• creativity loves constraint

agreed-the point about the marked paper is excellent-I feel burdened by a
• blank canvas and making the commitment of the first stroke.


• users not money


• don't kill projects. morph them.


• take risks. Do something you're not ready to do.


• serif or sans-serif? Serif = more readable. Sans-serif = more legible

a response to the 5-year question. Again, I'm in agreement, if you knew where you were going to be in 5 years, how depressing would that be?

• competition benefits end users. "The rising tide floats all boats"


• doing something meaningful and self-fulfilling

⇒ don't forget zombies

gabe and tycho hit it again. I'm sick of all these pseudo-vampires (Twilight, Tru Blood, Vampire Diaries, Underworld, Vampire Apprentice, Daybreakers, et al.) and zombies (Zombieland, whatever of the Dead, crappy Resident Evil movies). Oversaturation and unoriginality kills. If you're going to do something with one (or both) of these gimmicks, try something original.

⇒ Internet and Moon

best words (not mine, thou I wish they were) about the Moon bombing from a few weeks back:

Make no mistake: the majority of moons are peace-loving celestial bodies. Our issue is with the Earth's moon alone.

⇒ That old feeling

I know this vid's been out for a while now, but who cares? My blog.
Music and performance perfectly capture the frustration and feeling of having wasted hard earned dough on a piece of sh!t...I've been duped too (not the PSP, something bigger, much more expensive and not obviously inferior).

Fool me once, shame on you...
