Other Interests: pursuing your passion

What's important in your career ?

Evelyn Rodriguez was in Thailand at the time of the tsunami. She was one of the first people to write about her experiences.

It now appears that the tsunami has had a profound impact on her approach to her marketing consultancy.

In this post she poses a quiz. Sample: name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress. Can't?  Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

Headlines of the day are not what people remember in their lives.

She's taking that thought of finding her voice into developing new approaches to her career.

Via ABC's Deep End comes this link to the frantic 30 second bunnies animated re-enactment of The Shining.

They do other movies if you like their style.

Trapped by elevator messages

This story from Replevin about elevator messages reminds me of a favourite Woody Allen sketch.

He tells the story of how his kitchen equipment won't work one morning and trashes his toaster. As he goes to work that day, the elevator recognises him as the person who committed equipment abuse and rapidly takes him up and down in punishment.

Ever since, I've been cautious of talking elevators.
