Hello Frank
It is hard to pick where to start with Frank Chimero, so I just picked his list of 10 ideas for January.
Really his whole blog is worth checking out, or if you are pressed for time read his Ethos section. Also, worthwhile is his flickr.
It’s Not Who You Are, It’s What You Do
“By practicing slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, the strenuous student forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance.”
Interesting article that works to debunk the concept of “genius” in the Op-Ed section of the NYTimes. Ends up pointing out that practice, especially a form of micro-practice, concentrating on the small elements that make a whole are the thing that may be a better indicator of the potential for success.
New Office
I just got a new office at work (no the photo is not of mine). Been trying to figure out how to arrange it. There are things about this office of Richard Chai that I really like…the plant, the organization, the mix of furniture. This and other great offices can be seen over at the always great A Continuous Lean.
Good Creative Fuel
Odopod, in San Fran, has a nice program where it brings in people for a creative lunch. Looks like they brought Kyle Blue, from Dwell in recently.
Check out their blog.
