Give me a word, a feeling, a picture. →
I am increasingly aware of how little I write these days, so it’s time for a little exercise. Send me a word, a feeling or a picture of something fleeting and I’ll try to capture it with words. Will try to post my attempts if they’re not too horrific.  Thanks in advance!

Care a little more, please.
hereticnarrative: I get not giving a fuck. I get it, I really do. It makes everything really simple and clean; it makes moving on after someone hurts you or disappoints you much easier. Not giving a fuck means that you can have more fun more often with fewer inhibitions or regrets. Not feeling is liberating. But you know what they tell you after you’ve been put under for a medical procedure,...

great copy can make anything magnificent
adverve: Great copywriters can apply their craft to anything they do and anywhere that words might appear. And Craigslist is always a fantastic outlet for the people who are good with putting good words in order.  Flaccid golf clubs is an ad for golf clubs that, if not sold yet - can be yours for just a couple of hundred bucks. And once you’ve read the story, you’ll be happy to pay twice the...

Big news!
princehat: Click here to see all images. Sometimes Jashanmal Bookstores ask me to do some design for them, and it’s always a big treat for me. This time was definitely the most large scale so far. For their refurbished Mall of the Emirates store in Dubai and a brand new store in Kuwait, I was commissioned to create a set of category signs that communicate to customers what genres/products they...

kellyoxford:       Last week’s LATimes article ran in Chicago Tribune today. SHORTCUTS! The message I am getting from this is that living my whole live as a writer, writing for years and years meant nothing. Growing up as the annoying kid on the street who wrote plays and tried to force peers to perform them, going to screenwriting seminars, blogging daily (exercise) for 12 years, staying up...

The risk management strategies of bee hives →
Michael O’Malley is a human capital consultant (read: works in HR) and has been a beekeeper for the past 10 years. Here’s what he’s learned about how bees organize themselves and manage risk: Take, for example, their approach toward the “too-big-to-fail” risk our financial sector famously took on. Honeybees have a failsafe preventive for that. It’s:...
