Playing Catch Up

A handful of great links that I missed this past week while working on the road.

Tracy Boyer at innovative interactivity unloads a bevy of great links for any multimedia enthusiast out there.  It’s essentially a list of lists.  (How does she find the time to cull all these links?)

Some great advice from John Gross. He’s right. Talent doesn’t come out of thin air, it takes hard work, trial and error … and often a little imitation.

To code or not to code? Great piece on 10,000 words about the benefits of learning, and why it’s probably going to be harder than you think.  As someone who did take the effort to learn to code, it’s a double-edged sword.  Once you learn it, everyone turns to you to do it, but the great part is that you really get an understanding of how the web works and it will open your eyes to many story-telling possibilities in the Internet age.  My advice?  Learn at least enough to be dangerous.

And a stern talking to for local TV stations.  Someone had to say it, and thank goodness Angela Grant did.
