Inspiring Video

A while back, Zhenia recommended some Ira Glass videos on her blog. In them he talks about creativity and taste - really interesting stuff, and very inspirational. He says that we're bound to make crap when we're trying to be creative, and that we just need to keep on making lots of things and eventually something good will come out of our efforts - when you've got good taste you can recognize the good from the crap :)

After I watched those videos, I remembered how much I used to love listening to This American Life when I used to drive from the university to my parents' place on the weekends. I listened to some old episodes on their archive and cut out ATC blanks from cereal boxes. Good times.

Inspirational site

Yesterday I spent a lot of time on Lisa Vollrath's site Go Make Something. Lisa Vollrath is a member of ATCsforAll and I've seen links to some of her pages in the past, but never explored the site much before yesterday. Wow is there a lot of great stuff there!! Fun articles, great templates, lots of how-to's with excellent photographs. I loved the videos she had posted, especially the ones on organization. Very neat to see and hear the person who's been giving you instructions. It makes it so much more personal. Will definitely spend some more time on that site during my vacation (which starts this Friday, woooooooooot!).
