Natural 11

Wired 18.11 - the "natural" breast issue caused a bit of a stir. But what got my attention was something completely different.



Phineas & Ferb mainly. The piece was just around the same time as they started airing big time on Disney Channel over here. I must admit to being  pleasantly surprised to hear that the were Disney made (or paid, same distinction).

Became a fan watching it with junior (who wanted to hear the songs over and over and over and over... especially the "big tune" #1 song - he has since moved on to Dora as the main "want to see")

I had some fun with the ToonTips - short clips showing how to draw one character in one simple pose, using the stylus and the iPad to sketch out some simple characters (heads at least). The simple style makes it both memorable and replicable even for a simple dabbler such as me. Even downloaded and printed out a four page guide for when junior gets around to drawing somewhat planned.



Then there was the launch (?) of wired.com/rawfile - photoblog with a twist. Which is still going strong, actually ended up there a few days ago for the 'screaming' images (one seen left - worth reading and seeing the whole piece)


And finally, WDYDWYD. What a fun acronym, impossible to sound out compared to saying it in full. And so simple to understand when you have heard or read it once.

What is it that motivates you? Makes the blood pound a little bit more, makes you get out of bed in the morning?

Seeing it's been taken a step further with a .com - get some text on an image to express it - WHY do you do what YOU do?

Sometimes just asking it makes things clearer. And sometimes if you really dig into the answers you might find that it is time to change. 

Be it a pivot or a "war" - or a FLINCH! (still free, still awesome, still nagging me)




- ...and the sun is probably shining today, so I'm out at the swings, while the nice servers pushes this out there for you. Yes YOU.
