  • Late Linx

    linkage, ramblings

    So, NAB, then the 48 Hour Film Project, then sick and coughing up gods-know-what for a week, then too busy catching up on everything else to post for another week. Yes, I’m running late.

    Here, for your temporary amusement, are some links for today. More in-depth content to come.

    I sent this email to Andy just after I started reading:

    I understand this book is meant as more of an advanced work, and some of the later chapters do assume more knowledge than is covered in the first two chapters that review the basics, but the writing is still very concise. I finally grasped […]

    Wow, now this is wicked cool. Thanks to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, you can see what Station in the Metro looked like back in 1999, 2000, 2004 and 2005 (although that last one seems to be missing its stylesheet). There were two websites which preceded SitM back in 1996-97, but they were even more hideously ugly than the ’99 SitM, and shall not be spoken of again.

    Speaking of SitM’s history, I realize that Ye Olde StationintheMetro.com just celebrated its 7th birthday a few months ago on 23 December. Or rather, it didn’t. Because I forgot.

  • Kurosawa Thinks Different?

    I hear there was once a poster from Apple’s “Think Different” ad campaign that featured Akira Kurosawa. If any has a lead on where I might be able to find one (yes, I’m well aware it will likely be a very pretty penny), I’d like to hear about it.

    Kaizen

    I realized this morning, with all this GTD stuff, I’ve been expecting myself to change very quickly, and for the world to suddenly become a happy shiny place, all because I’m not just letting papers (and emails) pile up all over the place, willy-nilly. I don’t really need to turn my life around on a dime to be happy with my own progress. A little change for the better every day is just as admirable, and probably much more sustainable. And as Luis points out:

    you improve a little bit each day and over the long run you’ve outrun the pack.

    Wise words, indeed.
