Sometimes we create amazing things. Sometime we create garbage. The point is to keep creating.

The inconsistency of genius is a consistent theme of creativity: Even those blessed with ridiculous talent still produce works of startling mediocrity.[…] The larger point is that mere imagination is not enough, for even those with prodigious gifts must still be able to sort their best from their worst, sifting through the clutter to find what’s actually worthwhile.
Jonah Lehrer, on How We Identify Good Ideas

To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
Steve Jobs, on Creativity

Anyone who is a creative should watch this. Now. 

Also, I’m adopting Nevver’s method of source citation. Previously, I always tagged the photo or the content source, but I like the link/description method.

Joe La Pompe – a site dedicated to hunt similar advertising ideas from around the world. Shameless copycats or unfortunate coincidences ? You decide.

The reason why I don’t look ad advertising annuals is because I’m worried that ideas will be incepted into my brain.

    Did anyone else think this guy looked like Notch?

    Before he started coding, he was a troll hunter.
