It has been fifteen years since I first read his book, and a year after his passing, but I still find inspiration in the work of Hillman Curtis. Hillman's pioneering work in Flash, was always a touchstone for me in my early career, and I still reference his books today, even though I rarely work in the medium. His books and his legacy will always be remembered. Hillman was a strong advocate of re-inventing ones self, and in his own career(s), he moved from playing music to graphic design to web design to flash and motion design and finally to filmmaking. I hope you find inspiration in his work as I do:

A cool film from IBM on making the World's Smallest Movie:  A Boy And His Atom Filmmaking at the atomic level is an novel idea, and I think the story behind the film is more interesting than the film itself.  Enjoy:

Internal Hack Days are great, not only for fostering ideas and developing new projects, but they are an excellent way to build an enrgised cohiesive team. I love the culture Shopify is building and the transparent nature of sharing by posting this video to YouTube.

Great message on the power of Gardening in the urban landscape. "If you aint a gardener, you aint gangster" Thanks Shawn O , for sharing this.

Audi taks a page from the show Top Gear in their latest viral video of two duelling RS 4 Avants shooting each other with paintballs. Who doesn't want an Audi with a 50 cal paintball gun mounted on the front? ~ Enjoy

'Connecting" is a great film from Bassett & Partners on of the future of Interaction Design and User Experience, Enjoy: The 18 minute "Connecting" documentary is an exploration of the future of Interaction Design and User Experience from some of the industry's thought leaders. As the role of software is catapulting forward, Interaction Design is seen to be not only increasing in importance dramatically, but also expected to play a leading role in shaping the coming "Internet of things." Ultimately, when the digital and physical worlds become one, humans along with technology are potentially on the path to becoming a "super organism" capable of influencing and enabling a broad spectrum of new behaviors in the world.
