National Film Society Joins PBS
We’re thrilled to announce… WE’RE JOINING PBS!!!!
My friends over at The National Film Society are stepping up their game and joining PBS!
The choice of the winner and the runner up was almost unanimous except for a lone nutjob who liked a different one.
If you’re not a nutjob about something, why bother getting up in the morning.
Delayed Response
Across the table sits someone with a question.
“What makes you happy? And please don’t give me a melancholic answer.”
“That’s a difficult one for me,” I reply. “I’d have to think about it some more.”
“You can’t think of anything right now? Little things like ice cream…or baby pigs?”

A few hours later I remember talking to the musician when he was in town, and I arrive at something to put on the list of things that make me happy: When I hear about friends’ dreams coming true.
This is how I wake myself up in the morning.
But that is happiness, I think: having the clear path and being able to see the things you want to do ahead of you. And, for me, I know what I want to do, and this is it.
My friend’s Kickstarter project ends today. Check it out, and if you’re so inclined, help the man fulfill his next creative challenge, aptly titled: The Dream Sessions: Musical Travel Show.
We’re so used to conducting this type of research by sitting someone down in front of a screen or paper prototype in an unfamiliar environment, but observing in a natural context made so much more sense, Nate would be pleased.

carving out a space for yourself online, somewhere where you can express yourself and share your work, is still one of the best possible investments you can make with your time. it’s why, after ten years, my first response to anyone just getting started online is to start, and maintain, a blog.

What are the consequences to trying? I could f up really bad and lose my savings and I’d be broke. Big deal. I’m not a flashy person so I can easily go back to zero and work my way back up, it doesn’t scare me.
