"Can you say Venn Diagram??"

Argh! Could this blog get any more techno/gearhead/geeky? If I log on and see that slo-mo bullet one more time...

This term, this Venn diagram thing, keeps coming up in client meetings. When it does I think, oh yah, the overlapping circles thing. I nailed that a long time ago, duh. We all did. We know that anything can be Venn diagrammed, that the world can be reduced, or expanded, to a Venn diagram. My whole life is a Venn diagram, especially my work life. Editors need copy, I produce copy. Demand, supply, meet profit. The client needs product, we have production. A big win-win lives in the merger of the two.

Except that it turns out I had been paying less and less attention to the importance of thoughtful, effective Venn diagramming. And its usefulness in all kinds of creative endeavors. I was happy to come across a reminder like this (very basic) article.

You want slo mo? How about one million FPS?

Amazing.

The best definition of Web 2.0 I've ever seen.

This has been around the InterTubes for quite a while now, but if you haven't seen it and still don't have a real understanding of what people mean when they say "Web 2.0," this video is an amazing primer.



BTW: Love the title.
