Darcie described the Centre Pompidou in Paris as a place where she is surrounded by working artists, where things change frequently, and where she feels as a visitor that anything can happen. For example, standing in line at a movie theater, everyone shares the excitement and energy of the show they are about to see. At a recent talk, a colleague from the Exploratorium asked me a very simple question. MORE
There are so many more people who join social networks, who collect and aggregate favored content, and critique and rate books and movies. It takes a special kind of cook, artist, or scientist to want to support the contributions of novices. I’ve had it with museums’ obsession with open-ended self-expression.

At the time, I was a program director for an arts education program and a facilitator of career counseling workshops for artists. Likewise, I feel like there are more books, websites, movies, classes, etc. While re-reading Echoing Green's book, Be Bold: Create a Career with Impact , I've been thinking about one of its main ideas--that people have moments of obligation.

A) The Hollywood Movie B) Home movies to document something important. But now I'm challenged to create a screencast equivalent to a home movie with half-decent production values and that can be made quickly and without a huge investment of time. In terms of the home-movie approach to screencasting, as you can see I didn't spend a lot of time scripting, storyboarding, zooming, additing titles or arrows, etc. MORE
