By writing much, one learns to write well. - Robert Southey
I could hear hawks calling across the golden summer-warmed hills. I could hear the wind running fingers through the oak trees outside of the hall. Occasionally I could hear the rustle of cloth or [...]
Marketing.
When you really look at the word, it’s kind of silly. Market – a place where buying, selling and trading goes on. Ing – verbifying suffix.
Yet it’s a heavy, scary, impressive word that means so much more than its literal parts. We can have good, bad, and neutral forms. It can bestow power [...]

I clearly can’t pull them off any more – tomorrows will be done first thing!
Until then, though, here’s a demo reel from someone working at one of the best visual effects companies in the world (and where I want to be someday).

I like public transport. I like buses. I like trains.
If we had a tram, no doubt I’d like that too.
I’m on board with the idea that we need to cut our carbon emissions (factories? Planes? Come on now), stop wasting resources, even cutting down on what we spend on fuel. I like the [...]
Really feel – none of this ‘I feel your pain’ nonsense we like to utter at funerals (however well meant).
I’m willing to bet that it’s not the same thing that gets me. Exactly, at least. I’m also willing to bet that there are cues that reach most of the people most of the time.

Today, I don’t really have anything to say myself… but here are some interesting quotes I found while out searching for post inspiration.
