Hello. Here’s this week’s good stuff. A curated list that includes things that have captured my attention and have kept me creative and productive. Stuff like apps, music, books, articles, and videos. If you find it useful, I sure would love to hear from you.

Oh, and here is something I quickly made today.

I love making quick, fast, attention-getting things. But sometimes I love to slow down and just let shots play out. Being out in the snow this morning was meditative in a way for me. It was great to be quiet, and alone. So what I was feeling out there is definitely what I put into making this video.

 

Have a great week.

 

 

 

Current article I’m reading…
Using Fear to Your Creative Advantage “If we fear failure, then maybe it’s telling us that our project is worth doing. Maybe fear is telling us that the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been. If we’re creating meaningful work, then chances are there’s a good reason to fear failure.”

Current iOS App I’m enjoying…
Glitch Studio: Cool Effect Cam

Current music I’m checking out…
Glenn Branca who has a reputation for high-volume microtonal works for electric guitars. He was also a mentor to Sonic Youth.

Current Gadget…
It’s November which means I’m anticipating the arrival of my new iPhone case from “Moment Lens”
It feels like forever since I ordered it. I loved the first one I got a long time ago can’t wait to slap this one on.

Yapp on the App Store A simple iOS App that gives you Gentle Random Reminders. I’m so happy I found this. I have mine set to remind me to creatively explore my surroundings as well as say a simple prayer for my family.

Sip for Mac Collect, organize, and share colors. A really handy app to keep track of my favorite color pallets.

Here’s a Spotify playlist I’ve been enjoying while getting work done. Not sure how to describe it. Perhaps Jazz with hip-hop beats. It’s very groovy.
