1pm Meeting
Is code for Jon goes hungry.
I fucking hate it when people are late.

It’s not that hard to be on time, you just have to plan accordingly. You selfish fuck.

Interjections One.
This is the first in what I intent to be a series of 5 page bursts, ideas explained in a fairly straightforward manner, and optimized for sharing, adapting, and improving.
For a PDF version, click here.
Interjections One focuses on an idea first suggested in an earlier post, that of reinventing clothing and merchandise for a touring band as a capsule...

jaimeleigh:
(ridiculous advice once given to me that to this day I can’t shake.)

motivation.
To paraphrase last season of Mad Men: ‘Pick a job, then become the person who does that job.’
I feel like a lot of people see something, and base their sadness on their inability to have that thing, whether it be a job, the affection of a person, or a possession. But they don’t dedicate themselves to becoming the person that can get what they want.

Waiting for judgement.
A few years ago, I wrote something and it broke me.
I don’t mean I was crushed by the weight of my own brilliance. If anything, it was the opposite. I wrote it, read it, and learned enough that I more or less completely changed my life goals.
It was hard, and important, and ultimately helped me figure out what I am supposed to be.
Last night, on a whim, I emailed that story to someone....
Bullshit.
attentionindustry:
The general stance on ‘bullshit’ (as used colloquially) is that it’s always a terrible thing. That it distracts, wastes time, is dishonest and destructive.
I disagree, and my stance on bullshit comes down to two things.
1) Bullshit is the ability to convince without proving. If you know anyone who can make a good argument, who can ‘work a room’, and who tends to assume a...
Micro-Survey
attentionindustry:
I’m in the midst of a conversation on ‘academic determinism’, or how your ability and interests in high school dictate the career paths available to you in most traditional organizations.
I recognize that higher level positions need to take experience into account, but for many roles, especially those focused on a skill set that literally didn’t exist five years ago, I would...

So, Tuesday felt like Thursday, Wednesday felt like a Monday, Thursday was more of a Friday, and now Friday feels like Monday, again.

– Mad Men musings (via heyitsnoah)
This is true, but you could say the same thing about supposed phenomenon Gossip Girl. The interesting part is that so many people still cling to the broadcast paradigm assumption that media attention is directly related to popularity. The value of a creative...
