Being honest is great but maybe there can be too much of a good thing.

‘It’s now very common to hear people say, “I’m rather offended by that”, as if that gives them certain rights. It’s no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. “I’m offended by that.” Well, so fucking what?’

I really like the concept behind PopUp Houses as well as the houses.
A simple concept: Build an entire building (floor, walls, ceiling) by assembling insulation blocks separated by wooden boards.
Rapid Installation. Use of lightweight materials. No special tools required, assembles like Lego.
Low Cost. Inexpensive materials. Very short assembly time.
Recyclable. Use of recyclable materials. Quick disassembly.
Outstanding Insulation. No thermal bridge at wall ceiling junctions. Almost no additional heating required.
Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.

I came across the quote above in Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative. One excuse I have used for not writing is that everything has already been said and written. Who am I to be able to add anything new? What André Gide says makes my excuse crumble, good things are worth repeating and phrase in new ways.
Lots of images cross our ways online. Facebook is full of images, with or without inspirational texts. So are Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr, Tumblr and many more sites. When it comes to what an image awakes in us someone elses text often limit us, just like our text might limit others.
Here’s an image I really like, you get it without any text. Enjoy whatever the image awakes in you!
Today was the first day I let it slip and did not post anything in Blogg100 2014. I make that up by backdating a post.
Fail fast and cheap. Fail often. Fail in a way that doesn’t kill you.
In connection to a post on Facebook about blogging I found this comment:
I cringe at the thought of converting ideas in my head into words. But the more I read about writing, the more I realize I need to just get over the fear and feel some pain to allow the magic to happen.
That’s highly relevant for me. I need to push through, write for the sake of writing and then publish in order to fail fast and often. Failing on my own blogs are for free, all it takes is actually to publish.
Update Blogg100 didn’t work for me, I missed several days and then quit. I got to find other ways that keep me blogging.
