Stefan Sagmeister | The Power of Time Off

October 14, 2009

A designer named Stefan Sagmeister gives a talk on the Power of Time Off. Most interesting is his idea of taking sabbaticals (and closing his shop) every 7 years, to enjoy retirement interspersed with a lifetime of work.

Cengage on the move

September 9, 2008

Cengage Learning is on the move:

Real estate sources said the Southport, Conn., developer reportedly has a 120,000-square-foot lease deal with Cengage Learning, a developer of educational technologies and support products that previously operated as Thomson Learning. Cengage will be the first office tenant in the redeveloped Channel Center complex in South Boston.

More at: Cengage Learning lease is a lift for Channel Center

A quick Google search for Channel Center Boston brought up a few pics. Looks like a nice new home for the merged Thomson Learning and Houghton Mifflin.

The Google map below shows that the new digs (B) are only a short walk from the old digs (A). Not that far to move, though it’ll be a brisk walk back to Flour and Lucky’s.

Good luck to all Cengagers involved in the move!

I’ve been Schmapped

August 14, 2008

I got an e-mail from Schmap that my photo of the St. Louis Arch (shown below) has been included on their web site.

St. Louis arch

Schmap is an online travel guide, and they apparently use Flickr photos tagged with Creative Commons rights to create photo galleries.

See the St. Louis Schmap here.

It’s a pretty ingenious way to grab photos off the web for free.  I feel like a published photographer.

Definition of a Producer

April 23, 2008

Julia Phillips, Oscar-winning producer on Taxi Driver, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and The Sting, writes:

When a job comes up on the set that no one else has to do, according to job definition, the producer gets to do it. This comes up on a regular basis, usually because someone else didn’t do his job, didn’t do his job well, or didn’t think of the job in the first place.

page 519, “You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again

An intriguing definition, from a movie Producer who routinely had to deal with the most intense crises imaginable.
