inspiration for the creative mind.
Since I am obsessed with anything mixed media, I thought this was a bit intriguing.

Worst Case Scenario Topic
My topic for our final project in Graphics Two is going to be from the book The WORST-CASE SCENARIO Survival Handbook: Weddings… and the topic is..
How to Stop a Bad Toast
• Employ Humor
o Call on the same techniques hecklers use at comedy clubs: loud, insincere laughter, throwing food; and narky commentary (“Are you going to finish this toast by their first anniversary?). Acting drunk may also help to.
• Cue the Band
o Ask the wedding planner or an esteemed family member to tell the band leader to interrupt with rousing music to drown the toast.
• Wait for a pause, the execute the “slow clap”
o Start a loud, slow clap – approximately one clap per second. After about 15 seconds, other will join in, until the entire room is clapping for the toast maker. Continue clapping until he leaves the stage.
• Talk over the toast.
o Grab another microphone from the band or deejay and say, “Thanks so much for those warm wishes. Let’s move on and _______ (fill in the blank with ‘raise a toast,’ ‘cut the cake,’ ‘dance’, ‘hear from Grandpa)’.

Shift Happens
India has more honor kids, than America has kids.
We are preparing kids for jobs, using technologies that haven't been invented, in order to solve problems we don't even know about yet!
If myspace was a country it would be the 5th biggest.
The number of google searches that has increased since 2006.
The text message one was CRAZY!
During the course of me watching this presentation, 67 babies were born in the US... wow.
Even though this video was mind blowing, it freaked me out a little bitt. I don't like thinking about things like that, its un-real to me, and its hard to comprehend. They did a great job of designing the video, and how they displayed all the information.

Creativity is being strangled
This week’s video is an insightful talk by copyright authority Larry Lessig about the creativity blossoming from access to content on the internet, and the conflict with copyright law which hasn’t caught up this new form of creativity - and the implications.
I found this interesting comment on a Blog talking about the speech.
"creativity is being strangled by the law Technology offers the opportunity to revive the old read/write culture. It is amateur but not amateurish culture. Remix --it's not piracy --its re creating to make something different. This is a literacy for this generation Copyright law has not responded with common sense as it had to do in the past when technology changes challenged established law—e.g. over the issue of the ‘trespass’ of airplanes over land k e n c h a d consulti Artists can choose the kind of re-use their work enables. That is what Creative Commons is about We live life against the law in a new age of prohibitions --this is dangerous.
