Exploring the ways in which artists, artisans and technicians are intelligently expressing their creativity with a passion for culture, technology, marketing and advertising.
You could think of Jonathan Harris as a technical artists or an artistic technician but more than that he is the very embodiment of the tension humanity feels at the threshold between art and technology.

Digital documents (made out of ones and zeroes) are a lot less wasteful than paper (made out of carbon-eating trees). To minimize unnecessary printing, some people add a reminder at the bottom of emails that says something like "Please consider the environment before printing this."But the folks at the World Wildlife Fund have another solution. This week, they released a new file format—WWF, of course—which is, essentially, "a PDF that cannot be printed out." Drop by Save as WWF, Save a Tree to download software that will add a "Save as WWF" option to your print menu. Any WWFs you create can be opened by programs that open PDFs—but can't be printed.
I recently did an interview with Andrew Warner for Mixergy. The site features interviews with experienced entrepreneurs and business owners, sharing their expertise with aspiring entrepreneurs. In this interview, Andrew asked me why should business people care about creativity? And if creativity is so important, how can we ensure we get more of it, even if we don’t feel we were born creative?
The video is about an hour long. For those of you on the go, you can download the mp3 file of the interview (right click to save file) to take with you.
