Mood Mugs: I'm with Sleepy

The importance of work

“(Capital-W) Work is what we have considered for years: your boss tells you to do something, you do it, and you get paid. By contrast, (little-w) work is motivated by inherent interest and generally unpaid.

Think of the difference between an Encyclopedia Britannica editor doing Work, and a Wikipedia editor doing work during spare hours. Big Work drives the economy; little work drives the Internet. Big Work builds skyscrapers; little work generates a half million fanfiction stories about Harry Potter.”

- Clay Shirky

Art Directors and Copywriters video feud

A fun creative life parody I found on carbfreecreativity. I love how the automated voice turns ego into eggo. You can make your own short videos here. Just type in your script and these animated characters will act it out for you with minimal voice variation.

city one minutes

As you sit in your office or pick up your coffee, do you ever wonder what the rest of the world is doing. City One Minutes answers that question in one minute intervals. In City One Minutes life in each city is divided into 24 one minute portraits, each depicting one hour of the day. Every film is a personal impression of the city in which the artist lives or in which he is staying. I think this site is a very cool glimpse into the other side.

cards of change: fun for the unemployeds

With rampant layoffs across the advertising industry, it's hard to be positive. So the cards of change project is a welcome little site. Visitors are encouraged to cross out their old contact info and scribble a little something, something about a positive change in their lives since their layoff. I think it's the kind of glass is half full thinking that we all need right about now. Thanks to jess for sending this my way.
