Coloured balloons and forever knowledge

I’ve got nothing to say, so how about a photo of some coloured balloons in front of the Arc de Triomphe? One of these days I am going to go to Paris. (From the movie Funny Face, via here.)

And some advice on learning, just because (excuse the language). So true. I’ve always said I wished I had a more ‘classical’ education. The most useless stuff I ever learnt was the stuff that was too over-applied to a particular set of circumstances. I like the term “forever knowledge”.

Here’s the thing: the world is constantly changing. Every day, in every industry, there’s some new technology that throws a kink in the way we do things. The important thing is to work on your brain — every industry needs people who are smart, who are inquisitive, who question everything, and who can adapt and make shit. If it were me, I wouldn’t go to ad school, I’d go to an awesome liberal arts college and get a good, broad education. Read the classics. Pick up some “forever knowledge.” Learn how to learn. Learn to write and read. You can pick up the rest in internships and by dicking around in your spare time.
