2014-01-18

Do you dream about living in the past? Why not live it in the present and use the best of both worlds? You are already doing part of it when you look back at the past from the present.

Recommendation: Visit a Ballet (esp. if it’s Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of the Shrew’)

2014-01-10

A heartfelt recommendation to go watch a ballet. The beauty and elegance is breathtaking -- if the spectators were only allowed to carry tranquilizer guns. Also proof that Shakespeare knew well how to deal with shit tests.

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game.
Some postings on this blog deal with freedom, as I think that we need freedom of thought, of speech, of association, etc. pp. to solve mankind's problems. Thus, some postings may seem a bit remote when it comes to organizing creativity. Freedom is, however, the bedrock of creativity.
The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
