The irony of creative change
“The irony of creativity is this: people want to be creative without change. They want innovation with no risk. They want a new result with the same exact behavior. They can talk for hours about how passionate they are about creativity, but when it comes to actually changing anything, they’ll find a way to repeat the same thing again and again.”
Isn’t that annoying?

As a child, I thought that the Fonz was cool. Now, Beck is cool and Fonzie seems kind of silly. Trends spin around all the time. Be who you are. Should one eventually land on you, it will feel natural. Be someone else, and you may end up like Vanilla Ice.

“GE Caulk Singles, single-use disposable packages of caulk, reinvent the caulking experience for the consumer by putting an end to caulk guns and hard-to-use squeeze tubes. With its deceptively simple, yet ingeniously engineered packaging, Caulk Singles dispense effortlessly with one hand, require no tools, and leave essentially no waste in the package.” (via TheDieline)
So simple… So awesome… That’s good design… Plus it looks hot!

Cool Artist: NotoriousRachel
Maybe I just read too much, but this REALLY grabbed my attention. Not quite sure she is trying to be an artist, but I think she’s doing a damn good job of it!

Telly Without Context
“To watch you need a broadband connection, quite a fast computer and a deep-seated urge to be totally bewildered.”
Couldn’t have said it beter myself. Totally ridiculous and yet hypnotizing… Watched the whole thing and feel like I just got a lobatomy.
