“I propose that blocking people on sites like Twitter or Flickr should not be interpreted as an insult. I propose that it’s simply taking yourself out of someone else’s attention stream.”

- Derek Powazek - Press the Magic Button

I thought this was interesting with my recent aversion to Facebook.

when are you going to post more photos?? ;)

That depends which photos you mean: my photos or other peoples? If you mean mine, I am posting them, on another site. If you mean other peoples, when something catches my eye while I look and it feels like it fits the undefined rules of 8 seconds of awesome.

“

It was 12 years of slamming our head up against the wall, trying to be the Coen Brothers, trying to be somebody else. You joke but that was the key. We were being derivative back then. We were looking at movies we wanted to make and we were thinking, “Oh, let’s try and make that but the thing is, we are not the Coen Brothers and we don’t make movies like them cause they’re really good at it and we are not…”

It took us finding out what we uniquely had to offer and it was only when we exploited that little private conversation of ours… that we were like, “I think this might be what we’re good at. These are our stories and this is our sensibility and we have literally, to this day, not wavered…

Good with a letter from an inner-city schoolteacher to his first graduating class.

My experiences with you over the last two years give me faith that you can meet and exceed the challenges you will soon confront.

So much good stuff here.

“Are you worried about someone stealing your idea? Don’t worry, no one wants to take something that isn’t proven. Get successful and you’ll find them very interested in what you’re doing. So don’t waste time worrying about your idea getting stolen, spend time making your idea successful.”

The SF Gate tells the story of 11-year-old Olivia Bouler who contacted the Audubon Society and offered to draw a picture for everybody who made a donation to the Society’s relief efforts:

Olivia has gotten so much interest — including more than $100,000 in donations and over 20,000 fans on a Facebook page — that she’s had to limit her drawings to 500.
