Yes, but they had to 'design' the bookshelf instalation as well, didn't they?

btw ira glass yr show is good and all but not really on the level where you need to be handing out advice on creativity and taste

not to mention that it's clearly not enough bookshelves!

Wait, your aunt posts Tesla quotes? Does she have a twitter where I can follow her? That sounds like a straight-up awesome aunt.

ira glass advice is not bad imo but he's basically saying "practice makes perfect" in 200 words.

also what happened to just like, posting a quote in text
we should all start putting these quotes on FB except with lolcat images

if only he had worked on his meme a little bit more, maybe his execution could've matched his ambition

and yeah the worst thing about these are the wordiness, remember when quotes were pithy and succinct

"do a lot of work" is always good advice, unless your work sucks. even then, as long as you don't show it to anyone, who cares?

my favorite picture person on facebook is an ilxor. pretty art pictures. i will forgive him the radiohead obsession cuz the rest of his pictures are always so pretty.

"Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive.Information wants to be free because it has become so cheap to distribute, copy, and recombine—too cheap to meter. It wants to be expensive because it can be immeasurably valuable to the recipient. That tension will not go away. It leads to endless wrenching debate about price, copyright, ‘intellectual property,’ the moral rightness of casual distribution, because each round of new devices makes the tension worse, not better.

Well, it's like..
Alice wants to be a singer/songwriter when she's older. However she's convinced she can't produce anything good now as she's too young, inexperienced and with no life-experiences to draw on. I told her she doesn't *need* those, just a level of empathy, perhaps. Also, you have to produce the rub to get to producing the good.
Anyways, she's insistent she wants to audition for BGTalen' and I said "being a good singer ain't enough, you nee to write". So she did. and damn, she's good!

the original quote comes from some youtube clip where someone asks him how to break into the radio biz though. was he not supposed to answer the question?

Opinions about creativity, karma and struggle are so much more valid when they appear as macros on Facebook. #die

i almost blocked him over that one but then i thought where will i get my libertarian macros from
i dunno, seems like it's possible to answer the question without fluffing/flattering the audience's KILLER taste and sense of self-importancebut like i said, i am a jerk who endorses suffering in silence through periods of personal failure

im sure he was just trying to be nice and would not have chosen to have the quote shared via a macro if it was up to him re ira glass

upping the jerk ante here, i think all of these are stupid. if an ira glass quote turns your work around, i probably don't want to see it.
