work, love & don’t look back to those whom you’ve surpassed.
Summer Solstice
Igor’s awesome employer, zu Communications, had their annual Summer Solstice party this weekend. Aside from Igor & Dustin’s alarmingly short shorts (which I picked out at American Apparel for their Daft Punk dance skit – lol), the night went by smoothly. Campfire, music, Crush & Lays vinegar chips – good, clean fun.
Mosaic Yourself
I found a cool little app that will turn any image into a mosaic of random images. Check it out here.
We are the Creative Class, Oui?
We live in a classless society (ya, right!), yet somehow there has been an identified emergence of a new class: The Creatives. According to a few professors, these are:
- Super-Creatives: e.g. science, engineering, education, computer programming, research, arts, design, and media workers . Those belonging to this group are considered to “fully engage in the creative process” . The Super-Creative Core is considered innovative, creating commercial products and consumer goods. Their primary job function is to be creative and innovative.
- Creative Professionals: knowledge-based workers and include those working in healthcare, business and finance, the legal sector, and education. They “draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems” using higher degrees of education to do so.
Creative Class has the three ‘T’s:
Talent (highly talented/educated/skilled),
Tolerance (a diverse community, which has a ‘live and let live’ ethos), and
Technology (have the technological infrastructure necessary to fuel an entrepreneurial culture).
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have been reading about Jean-Paul Sartre lately, and he is turning out to be quite an iconic character for me. Sartre was a French philosopher, writer & a political activist.
A daily dose of inspiration.
Thanks to those Swedish girls at mode.feber.se for keeping me inspired.
