Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity from Hugh MacLeod was a big surprise for me. I didn’t think I’d get much out of it, but I enjoyed it a lot. MacLeod is the man behind GapingVoid and creator of those business card-size sketched toons so pervasive on the web. He shares a personal perspective on “success,” which I put in quotes because by the end of the book you...

I want to be just like Hugh MacLeod when I grow up. Instead I'm like me. These days being like me means injuring your fingers three times in one week, the last being the worst. I slammed my finger into my minivan's sliding door last night and followed that up with the doctor actually burning a hole in my fingernail to relieve blood/pressure. X-ray results not back yet. Like the cartoon above

One of my prized possessions is a drawing Hugh MacLeod did for me, based on what I was saying to him while he drew it. The man is a genius with one of the best hearts I know.

Cross posted at The Tech Learning Blog This facebook/twitter posting by Chris Lehmann got my attention. It's hard to argue with that statement and it raises some interesting questions and implications. It reminded me this cartoon by Hugh MacLeod (warning, Hugh as an affection for the f-bomb) It's powerful statement warning about our ability to connect and yet [...]

Call it a great room, a hall d'honneur, or whatever you will, the high, hulking spaces that form the heart of so many spec houses today are hellish to decorate. Thoughtless homeowners and homebuilders all cry, "We...

Hugh MacLeod of gapingvoid fame wrote in his How to Be Creative manifesto posted in ChangeThis: If I was just starting out writing, say, a novel or a screenplay, or maybe starting up a new software company, I wouldn’t try to quit my job in order to make this big, dramatic, heroic-quest thing about it.I would do something far simpler: I would find that extra hour or two in the day that belongs...

That leaves only 11% that don’t [...]
