M.C. Escher Documentary

I had heard about M.C. Escher in class a couple of times but never really knew too much about him. This documentary shows how dedicated and infatuated an artist can get with their work and exclude everyone else. One of the many parts that amazed me is when he spent a whole year coming up with his own style of illustration or division something along those lines.

Career Advice – Gordon Ramsay

Even though this is directed towards those who are wanting to get into the food industry. But I believe this can be changed and applied to any profession in regards to someone who is passionate about what they want to do with.

Have a great weekend.

Google Glass 2.0: What If We Had Glass?

I’ll admit at first I didn’t really think of google glass as something that would be great for society and I’m slowly changing my views. The capabilities of what it can do are amazing. I for one would love to try out a pair for a week and see how they hold up and if they actually improve and help with my day to day life. Sadly I missed the opportunity to apply for them.

What do you think about google glass do you think it’ll do more harm then good or vice versa?

Luck Is A Made Up Word

Many people have this belief of a thing of you are were you are because you were lucky and whatever other stories/excuses they try to make up. To me I believe that luck does not exist you can be able to make your own path. Which you can call it luck if you want there is not wrong with that.

But working harder then your lazy friends will allow you to get to where you want to. Times can get so hard that you just feel like giving up on everything. You may feel that your in a crappy job and there’s no escaping it. But whether you believe it or not there is always a way to get out. The main thing is do you want to and do you believe you can.

Because lets face it people are lazier then ever they are impatient, play the lottery to win big money when if they put the money spend from lottery tickets they would be well on their way. Don’t get me wrong I did not always used to be this way of thinking about luck being a made up word and or excuse.

It is just that the harder I’m working on myself and my design skills I am seeing the benefits of it. You can do the same if you want to that is. Remember this

Michael Dickinson: How a fly flies

This Ted Talk opened my eyes up to think more about how not just insects fly more so even how a bird flies.

iOS 7 : Welcome to the future of the iPhone

This is a very very sexy concept for the new iOS 7 but I doubt apple will do such a thing to the interface and how it operates. Because this concept is remarkable from beginning to end.

This Is Water by David Foster Wallace Full Speech

A full version of the speech that is re edited to go along with what is being said in the video below.

This has to be one of the best commencement speeches I have ever heard. If this does not impact you I do not know what else to say the videos say more then I can ever in this blog post.

How To Think Like An Architect: The Design Process

This video made me appreciate architects even more. The process he shows is remarkable from how it starts to what it ends up becoming.

The Saatchi & Saatchi Story

After watching this I was blown away by how obsessed the brothers were with becoming powerful. But as it showed growing to become the biggest ad agency doesn’t mean a thing if you ignore the managerial aspects of maintaining the level of success.
