The Power of Personal Projects
Ji Lee: The Transformative Power of Personal Projects
Inspiring talk from Ji Lee – now Creative Director of Google Creative Lab – about personal projects and their ability to transform your ideas as well as your career. From his own life experience of boredom resulting in an idea which turned viral and became a design phenomenon known as The Bubble Project”, Lee talks about how he created, financed, and marketed the project single-handedly, and how it ultimately forwarded his professional career. Featured on the 99% site, devoted to “making ideas happen”, and well worth visiting.

Week 29: "52 Weeks of Peace"
Oh, the music in the air!
An’ the joy that’s ivrywhere –
Shure, the whole blue vault of heaven is wan grand triumphal arch,
An’ the earth below is gay
Wid its tender green th’-day,
Fur the whole world is Irish on the Seventeenth o’ March!

Guitar For The Ages
Audiences have long enjoyed his acoustic prowess “live” – but I am just so pleased to share this taste of David Saxton’s amazing talent more broadly now, via video. His sound is a little bit Leo Kottke and a touch of Michael Hedges ~ but he’s entirely his own. Composing since his teens, Dave makes music that’s rich, melodic, stirring and deceptively complex. Enjoy!

Week 27: "52 Weeks of Peace"
Part intention, part belief… peace is a place that dwells somewhere inside us all … beneath the fray, outside the chatter, standing at the edge of chaos … stored in elements both real and imagined … and always a little bit magical.

Week 26: "52 Weeks of Peace"
“Half-Full”
26 weeks marks the series’ midpoint – and the idea of “halfway” turned into “half-full/half-empty” … which, of course, leaves room for personal interpretation, so I’ll just leave it at that for now.
