Good stuff here. For reals:

11 Riffs on Creativity & Time – by Jeffrey Davis

Most creative people with whom I work and study – scientists, authors, designers, entrepreneurs, marketers, teachers – find their optimal mix between messy chaos and creative order in their work life.  Almost without fail, their chief complaints revolve around time – not enough of it or not sure what to do with it. Instead of managing time, sculpting time seems to me a useful reframe for creatives. I offer 11 riffs on sculpting time here. read article

munchman’s Laugh of the Day

Serious bizness, yah. But I can’t help it. This strikes me as, um, well, erm funny:

1 picture is worth a million words of complaint (The violence definitely isn’t funny. The official reaction to it, OTOH…)

The team workin’ hard.

Synopsis for “The Pact”

Overall, I thought this episode was an improvement over last week’s. Not only that, I learned something: Criminal Minds ain’t what it used to be. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, depending on your perspective.

What I like most about CM is the mystery aspect—the team profiling, finding, and arresting/killing the perpetrator(s).
