• WOWOW: The Inspiration Edition [Links of the Week]

    by Alexander Becker on January 18, 2008 | Link

    High speed links: Inspiration and creativity, assholes (ooooh sorry -- not really), pirates, and chutzpah, again.

    • Working In Close

      And, sorry, all those romantic notions you have of absinthe spoons, manic episodes and Kerouac-like rambling on a long roll of butcher paper really aren't operative. Creative work is mostly showing up every day and enduring a million tiny failures as you feel your way to something a bit new.

    • Are You A Certified Asshole?

      I'm sure that none of you need to take this test, but you might know someone who does.

    • The Pirate's Dilemma

      The Pirate's Dilemma tells the story of how youth culture drives innovation and is changing the way the world works. It offers understanding and insight for a time when piracy is just another business model, the remix is our most powerful marketing tool and anyone with a computer is capable of reaching more people than a multi-national corporation.

    • The Danger of Free

      Again: Nothing is for free.

    • The Yiddish Handbook: 40 Words You Should Know

      Chutzpah -- Or khutspe. Nerve, extreme arrogance, brazen presumption. In English, chutzpah often connotes courage or confidence, but among Yiddish speakers, it is not a compliment.

      Yiddish speakers, on the other hand, get the meaning immediately.

    Until next week, stay safe, work hard and don't forget the balancing play hard
