I found this over at BoingBoing – It looks like one of those extraordinary RSA Animate works that visually distill a talk and embed it securely into the depths of your brain – but since it’s not on the RSA site proper I suspect it’s actually just a promo for Steven Johnson’s book done in the same style.
Regardless – it’s pretty good and worth 4 minutes of your time just for the nifty drawings:
Or – you can just watch his great TED Talk and get 13 minutes more of Johnson’s good ideas.
Cheers.
Every morning when I get up I make a school lunch for my son, Henry. I also make a little folded comic that I stick in with the lunch. I’ve been doing that for a number of years now and the collection that has amassed is still calling to be posted online.
I also make quick little notes for him to read while he eats his breakfast. Usually these are just short little things that serve to brighten the start of his day and get his brain ready for school.
The comics are bizarre because they are more detailed than the breakfast notes, being a serialized story featuring Henry, his sandwich and a trio of demented coconuts; they also reflect some of the stuff he (and I) are going through as we grow older; they are always done before I’ve finished my first cup of coffee; and I never know what’s going to happen next.
Some very weird shit falls out of my skull early in the morning but every once in a while, amidst that morning mental detritus, a small gem pops out.
This is the short breakfast note I made for Henry this morning:
I thought you might enjoy that.
Cheers.
It's going to be more of a personal news aggregator with a featured video blog from yours truly. We'll see how long that lasts. So bear with me - thanks.
