There’s really nothing quite as cool as the free-spirited creativity of kids. Caine, a 9 year old boy, built an extensive cardboard arcade he calls Caine’s Arcade. This video shows what happened when one person found it interesting and decided to share. Very inspiring stuff.

March 2, 2007.

That was the day this all started. It feels like just yesterday that Travis (the original co-founder) and I walked into my boss’s office and handed over our 2 week notices, complete with smiles we couldn’t wipe off our faces. And to think we started it all out of a spare bedroom with roughly $500 in the company bank account. What a ride this has been.

There isn’t a book that teaches you exactly how to start a business, deal with the ups and downs, and reach for “success,” whatever that means. You just have to go for it. Running a business is scary, but like any risk in life, extremely exciting and often very rewarding. To be honest, we’ve faced issues that almost led us to closing our doors and moving on to new things, saying goodbye to the great risk that is entrepreneurialism. But something told us to keep going, to try harder, to deal with it and move forward. The decision to not give up has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.

I don’t know what the future holds for us but that’s the exciting part. What I do know is that a handful of people have been influential in getting us to the place we are now and working with us to go even further. To my team, our clients, our friends, and our ever-curious family, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Thanks, a million times over.

Right out of the gate, this short stop motion film reels you in. It was written, directed, and animated by a guy who goes by PES. He’s done quite a bit of stop motion work, including films for commercial clients. Enjoy loads more videos on his website: http://www.eatpes.com/

Real happy to see creativity running in the family. My cousin, Jeff Frost, roamed the deserts of California and Utah looking for abandoned structures to paint and photograph. Enormous amounts of work went into planning and shooting 40,000 still images for this video. Not only that, but the painting and video editing are just as impressive. Well worth 4 minutes of your time.

Don, according to his YouTube channel, puts together “Sports compilations with epic music.” I do not disagree. This is an incredible compilation he put together using other people’s footage of humans doing some pretty incredible things.

Note: Music by Hans Zimmer

This is hands down one of the most inspiring talks I’ve ever seen. In other words, this dude killed it. Wilson reminds us to think about the future we’re designing because we’ll have to live in it someday. Set aside 40 minutes and get inspired. I sure did.

Warning: Feelings of regret that you didn’t get to see it in person are imminent.

Kids say the darndest things.

Thanks Brand New for finding this and thank you Adam Ladd for making this.

This is amazing 23-minute footage of Steve Jobs discussing Apple in 1980. The audio & video getting a little shoddy in the middle, but it’s still great.

“Man is a toolmaker, and has the ability to make a tool to amplify an apparent ability that he is.” He certainly did a wonderful job of that with computers. Thank you Steve!

Awesome documentary.
