While this whole quote is totally true, I (and I think we can all) relate with that first sentence. That said, however, too many people try to randomly hit on creativity without paying attention to that need for life experience. texturism: creativity is just connecting things – steve jobs [ via sebastianwaters ]

For a technology company, going on offense with software patents seems like an act of desperation, relying on the courts instead of the marketplace.
From the article “Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal” by a former Sun CEO 

Starting at 4:07, and more specifically at 4:20 of the above interview from 2007, Steve Jobs basically confirms the Apple Tablet while on the subject of the future of computing form factors. Remember that this is after the iPhone was announced, so unless there’s another revolutionary something that he’s talking about, it’s cool to see the words come from Steve himself and not an anonymous source.

All just a bit of fun while waiting for next Wednesday’s announcement… and you can watch the entire Jobs/Gates interview starting with part one here.

I’ve been excited for this movie since I heard about the cast (expect plenty of TV spots for it between The Office + 30 Rock in the coming months), and, featuring two of my favourite comedians in terms of Carell & Fey, it’ll be difficult for me to be disappointed. I can say that this is not at all the kind of film I expected, and it’ll likely be pretty formulaic, but I am there nonetheless. Some scenes, much like many in last year’s Get Smart look waaaaaay too ‘video’ to me - Stu Maschwitz could explain exactly why in terms of shutter, etc., and I really wish certain DPs could get that figured out for low-light/kinetic situations as it cut’s the look of the budget by about 75%. Happened in District 9 once too, but that was a low-light, smoky, small location with a lot of stress on the production crew already. This is Steve Carell and Tina Fey in an alley. Enjoy the trailer nonetheless, and let me know what you think

Say what you will about Night at the Museum, Shawn Levy, whatever - but this 20 minute “day in the life” video from MakingOf.com is pretty fascinating to someone like me. I love seeing as much uninterrupted, fly-on-the-wall sort of on-set footage as possible - Peter Jackson’s ‘King Kong Production Diaries’ (now on DVD), Edgar Wright’s ‘Scott Pilgrim’ video blogs, Kevin Smith’s ‘Train Wreck’ behind-the-scenes videos from Clerks 2 - I really can’t ever get enough.

Enjoy.
