This Exquisite Forest

Aug 31

This Exquisite Forest is an online collaborative art project that lets users create short animations that build off one another as they explore a specific theme. The result is a collection of branching narratives resembling trees.

What that means is that you can look in the ‘forest’ for animation seeds and build upon those. This is a great exercise of pure creativity and collaboration utilizing the power of the web. The concept remind me of the www.thejohnnycashproject.com where anyone could design 1 frame of the Johnny Cash video. If you clicked the link you’ve seen the AMAZING result that the collaboration produced.

This is the power the web has on design, it completely breaks conventional paradigms.

Are you planting a seed?

TED – Sherry Turkle: Connected, but alone?

Aug 24

Deep, complex, scary…. but true… people might think she’s ‘exaggerating’ but put this in perspective and imagine this in a 50 year life span, when a great majority of the population did not learn, to be alone and to have a conversation with a real human being…

Can you be by yourself without being connected to anything for, let’s say 2 hours?

Thanks to @TaylorMann for the link.

How to be a better Coach

Aug 22

Great conversation between Chris Brogan (@chrisbrogan) and Michael Bungay Stanier (@boxofcrayons) about Coaching. In my own journey to become an professor there were several things that Michael talked about that make so much sense, but at the same time they are counter intuitive.

Enjoy the talk and pay close attention to the part where he explain the TERA concept, it’s awesome.
