When he looked into the history of the organization, he found that hierarchical management had been invented for military purposes, where it was perfectly suited to getting 1,000 men to march over a hill to get shot at. When the Industrial Revolution came along, hierarchical management was again a good fit, since the objective was to treat each person as a component, doing exactly the same thing over and over.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/valve-how-i-got-here-what-its-like-and-what-im-doing-2/">Michael Abrash (Valve: How I Got Here, What It’s Like, and What I’m Doing)</a></em>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/21256657734http://blog.edmundito.com/post/21256657734Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:22:07 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2ghmjIty11qz6l8eo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2011/06/20/everything-is-a-remix-3/">The Elements of Creativity</a></p>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/21071437942http://blog.edmundito.com/post/21071437942Fri, 13 Apr 2012 23:20:43 -0700<a href="http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/constellations.htm">Orisinal.com - Constellations</a>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/20454412283http://blog.edmundito.com/post/20454412283Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:24:54 -0700<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/37120554?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://kottke.org/12/04/time-lapse-of-hitchcocks-rear-window">Time lapse of Hitchcock’s Rear Window</a>)</p>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/20453309827http://blog.edmundito.com/post/20453309827Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:54:02 -0700<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OIRZebE8O84?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Arthur C.

It is the rare person who is able to hold on to the sense of wonderment, of presence, of sheer enjoyment of life and its possibilities that is so apparent in our younger selves. As we age, we gain experience. We become better able to exercise self-control. We become more in command of our faculties, our thoughts, our desires. But somehow, we lose sight of the effortless ability to take in the world in full. The very experience that helps us become successful threatens to limit our imagination and our sense of the possible. When did experience ever limit the fantasy of a child?”<br/><br/> - <em><em>Scientific American</em>’s <strong>Maria Konnikova </strong>on <a href="http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/literally-psyched/2012/03/18/the-big-lesson-of-a-little-prince-recapture-the-creativity-of-childhood/">the big lesson</a> of <em>The Little Prince</em>, one of the 5 most beloved <a href="Saint-Exup%C3%A9rys%20larger%20point%20about%20creativity%20and%20thought%20is%20difficult%20to%20overstate:%20as%20we%20age,%20how%20we%20see%20the%20world%20changes.%20It%20is%20the%20rare%20person%20who%20is%20able%20to%20hold%20on%20to%20the%20sense%20of%20wonderment,%20of%20presence,%20of%20sheer%20enjoyment%20of%20life%20and%20its%20possibilities%20that%20is%20so%20apparent%20in%20our%20younger%20selves.%20As%20we%20age,%20we%20gain%20experience.%20We%20become%20better%20able%20to%20exercise%20self-control.%20We%20become%20more%20in%20command%20of%20our%20faculties,%20our%20thoughts,%20our%20desires.%20But%20somehow,%20we%20lose%20sight%20of%20the%20effortless%20ability%20to%20take%20in%20the%20world%20in%20full.%20The%20very%20experience%20that%20helps%20us%20become%20successful%20threatens%20to%20limit%20our%20imagination%20and%20our%20sense%20of%20the%20possible.%20When%20did%20experience%20ever%20limit%20the%20fantasy%20of%20a%20child?">children’s books with timeless philosophy for grown-ups</a>.
