This is a live mash-up from French boy genius Madeon called “Pop Culture.” It’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen done.
I have only a moderate understanding of what I’m seeing here, but I’d love for someone to explain it all to me one day. Neat. :)
“Trello. Organize anything, together.
“Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards. In one glance, Trello tells you what’s being worked on, who’s working on what, and where something is in a process.”
Wouldn’t it be great if most software didn’t require hours of training on how to use? … :)
‘America needs heroes,’ it is sometimes said, a phrase that’s often uttered in a wistful tone, almost cooingly, as if we were talking about a lonely child. But do we really ‘need heroes’? We need leaders, who marshal us to the muddle. We need role models, who show us how to deal with it. But what we really need are citizens, who refuse to infantilize themselves with talk of heroes and put their shoulders to the public wheel instead. The political scientist Jonathan Weiler sees the cult of the uniform as a kind of citizenship-by-proxy. Soldiers and cops and firefighters, he argues, embody a notion of public service to which the rest of us are now no more than spectators. What we really need, in other words, is a swift kick in the pants. — William Deresiewicz (via ayjay)

Seems especially true of the hotel models.

The Inkling is a “digital sketch pen” that allows you to draw or sketch on any standard piece of paper (a big advantage over Livescribe, which requires special notebooks) and automatically have a digital version created. The pen looks like a regular ballpoint pen, but is much more powerful than that. As you draw, sketches, mind-maps, or brainstorms all get captured, and are available just by connecting your pen to the computer. You can even create layers as you sketch, and edit drawings even easier when you get back to the computer. Files can be accessed in applications like Photoshop and Illustrator, or just viewed on the computer.There’s also a receiver that comes with the Inkling, which is likely how Wacom was able to avoid requiring special paper. The receiver clips to whatever page or notebook you’re using, and requires an uninterrupted line of sight with the pen while you’re working. It could be a little kludgy, as the receiver is fairly large and is one more thing to carry and set up when you want to work. Battery life for the system, Wacom says, is more than eight hours of working time, which is a good number, but still means you might want to carry a normal pen or the charging cable in case you have a full day’s worth of sketching to do.

Want. I was just thinking about how awkward it is to use my existing pad. And how it collects dust because that’s how I like my stuff: dusty. Future investment fo sho.

I like these photos, and the sentiments expressed below. Creativity must be given a chance to breathe. Output must follow the organic ebbs and flows.

I’m going to be abandoning the idea of once-a-day photo uploads. I feel like trying to keep up with a daily schedule runs counter to and hinders my ultimate goal: to get out, to explore, and to document ideas, people, places. There are large stretches of time where I simply don’t photograph. I hate the idea of having to take a picture just to meet a “deadline.” So instead of a daily schedule, I’ll be uploading photosets as I complete them. This gives me more time to get out, stretch my legs, and really chase after an idea. I feel that sometimes the meaning of a group of photos is lost when they’re by themselves. When you have a whole string of photos, a whole narrative, you get a more complete picture, so to speak. Anyway, to get the photoset idea started, here’s a collection of landscape photos from the past year or so. I imagine I’ll be doing a lot more of these, as I’ve been more in tune with the isolation of nature than the community of the city.
