It’s really amazing what they’re doing today with greenscreen and some rotoscoping.
It’s becoming harder and harder to tell what’s real and what’s not.
Seth Godin – 8 Questions to ask, and why
I read this from Seth Godin today, and it’s good. You should ask yourself these 8 questions, especially for those of you in the business world:
- Who are you trying to please?
- What are you promising?
- How much money are you trying to make?
- How much freedom are you willing to trade for opportunity?
- What are you trying to change?
- What do you want people to say about you?
- Which people?
- Do we care about you?
And after each answer, ask ‘why?’

The Lost Art of “Excellence”
I came across this video today. It’s a timed-lapse video of the making of a magazine cover for MacWorld. I found it fascinating because of the sheer amount of work that went into creating this cover graphic. From the shoot to laying out the design in Photoshop, the whole process just exudes excellence.
Next time you start work on a project–any project–think about what it will take to make it excellent.
