On Perfection
“It was like perfection was the thing that was destroying me — being totally focused on making it perfect,” she says. “And I found that when I would improvise, I didnt care about the technique. I would just put my mind outside of where I was, and just be in the music.” via Zoe Keating: ...
Wacom Inkling
Wacom Inkling is the easiest way yet to go from hand-drawn to vector: With the Inkling, digital drawing feels like traditional drawing because it is.

So far I’m enjoying Google+ as a new place online where the early adopter tech crowd is active.
