We live in a pause/play society. A chance to customize our time, work, entertainment, music, and life. Things are changing so drastically, the previous gatekeepers are not on the outside and the walls have been knocked down allowing “common” people to do whatever they want.

From the filmmakers:

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunites.

Recently a documentary was released called PressPausePlay. It explores this new time in history. Capturing interviews with artist, filmmakers, designres, thought leaders, and many more. The best part about this film is that you can get it for free.

You know what they say, a TED talk a week brings inspiration that last months. Okay, well no one really says that, I made that up literally two seconds ago. But TED talks are truly inspiring and are ideas worth spreading.

Saturdays can usually be a day of laziness or it can be a day of inspiration. I will choose to make it a day of both.

So be lazy and be inspired.

Today we feature Pattie Maes

This demo — from Pattie Maes’ lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry — was the buzz of TED. It’s a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine “Minority Report” and then some.

You ready to take the challenge?

Today we feature Elizabeth Gilbert.

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.
