The winning animation in the 2007 Adobe Design Achievement Awards titled “Fische und Schiffe” by Axel Broetje is worth watching.

We watched the 1940’s edition of “The Grapes of Wrath” over weekend. What a wonderful movie, heart-felt with simple prose delivered honestly and with the conviction you expect from such a great source.
“We could go on with this talk of the players, but it would become repetitious, for there are too many of them, and [...]

I’m a huge fan of “shifting”, which can be hard to explain to some people who aren’t as tech savy as some of us. This little video from some Canadian University students does a great job!!

One recent post that struck a chord was “The Tao of Deadlines“;
Project Management
