Big Small Read

Just borrowed small is the new big by Seth Godin and am enjoying the read. This is a collection of some of his best blogs. These short little pieces are like fireworks as Seth says; good for adding a little spark to the day.

Seth's blog is here. Click on his head!

And as an add-on to my earlier post PowerPicture?, read Seth's take on Really Bad Powerpoint. Very instructive. "Communication is the transfer of emotion." A gem!

Most of us would probably not have had the chance to take a swing of Nintendo's Wii but we can all try out this cool tool for creating a little digital avatar.

Happiness

I literally stumbled upon this book at the Bishan library, and have been enjoying Daniel Glibert's wit and interesting insights found in Stumbling on Happiness.

PowerPicture?

Recently, a report from researchers of the University of New South Wales called for the use of Powerpoint presentation to be ditched because our brains cannot read and listen well at the same time.

This of course refers to the most popular use of Powerpoint to have extensive chunks of text or lists of bullet points.

For some time now, some experts in making effective presentations have been saying that the most critical use of Powerpoint is the ability for us to use visuals to create impact. With digital photography becoming very accessible, the exploration of powerful images in communication and learning has been made so much easier.

On closer examination, is it not the person rather than the tool that makes all the difference?

I also enjoyed reading the insights from this site.

Foodie Goodie

Oceanic Journey

shopfront01, originally uploaded by pauseability.

Here's a first look at the likely place where Pauseability will be setup.

It is getting exciting as things get on track to create this place. As I have recently learnt in a course I attended, the creative process can be liken to an oceanic journey. Between departure and arrival, the experience of being out at sea can be unsettling as much as it is exciting. That's how I feel now, and learning also to enjoy the seabreeze as much as the storm and choppy seas in this journey.
