Weekly recap from here and elsewhere. 11.21.08 edition

This past week I started reading Edward de Bono’s book, Serious Creativity. I’ve mentioned it a few times in my blog articles this week. It’s been a while since I read a book the whole way through. I think reading online has given me a very short attention span. The good news is, this is an excellent book, I had no problem reading it. I highly recommend it, not just for designers.

  • Retrostalgia – Gmail has new themes. One of them took me back to highschool.
  • Six Thinking Hats – Applying Edward de Bono’s thinking method helps with creative process.
  • Overly Inspired – I feel I’ve spent too much time being inspired, instead of DOING.

Blogs from Elsewhere

  • Blogs With Great Content and No Readers – Chuck Westerbrook is starting a new project, to help unknown bloggers to get some exposure. So far the two bloggers featured as very interesting.
  • Running the Numbers – Statistics with photography
  • Lord Likely – “Lord Likely” is a… uhh.., hmm… You know what, why don’t you just go there and find out for yourself?
  • The Girl Who Cried Webmaster – I don’t know how I ever missed this blog, it’s becoming my favorite. Joey deVilla documents life with an incredible story telling skill. This particular entry was published in 2003. It’s hilarious.
  • Tabbloid – Not a blog, but a VERY COOL tool. Simply enter your favorite RSS feeds(s) then this site generates the content in newspaper like format, and delivery it to you as a PDF. Perfect if you want that old school feel with reading blogs.
