Never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby. The finest of our precision watches, the most super-colossal of our supercargo planes don’t compare with a newborn baby in the number and ingenuity of coils and springs, in the flow and change of chemical solutions, in timing devices and interrelated parts that are irreplaceable.”<br/><br/> - <em>Carl Sandburg</em>http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/378959104http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/378959104Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:40:00 -0800<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9200199&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9200199&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9200199&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><i> </i>Billy Collins ‘Forgetfulness’ (animation by Arturo Wibawa)</p>http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/378884355http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/378884355Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:56:41 -0800<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n-a8ELOVig4&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n-a8ELOVig4&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Forgetfulness — Billy Collins Animated Poetry</p>http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/378835266http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/378835266Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:25:52 -0800<p>Our <a target="_self" href="http://twitter.com/mcontests">@mcontests</a> feed has just been launched with to the minute Calls for Entries, Submissions & Proposals for Playwriting, Songwriting, Journalism, Photography, Advertising, Design & Literary Competitions from around the world.</p>http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/368664133http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/368664133Wed, 03 Feb 2010 04:11:00 -0800“For the tools of learning are the same, in any and every subject; and the person who knows how to use them will, at any age, get the mastery of a new subject in half the time and with a quarter of the effort expended by the person who has not the tools at his command.”<br/><br/> - <em>Dorothy Sayers (The Lost Tools of Learning)</em>http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/359877110http://thinktank.mconcepts.com/post/359877110Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:30:31 -0800<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwmy9uqNzT1qzoovao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Once in a while in a design session there comes a time when your eyes will play tricks on you and will need to get couple other people’s eyes on a design just to double-confirm that you aren’t losing your mind.
