I came across this great web show series where renowned photographer Chase Jarvis interviews various characters and talks photography.  It’s a great little series and he’s developed quite the following. Geared towards photographers, a musician can still get a lot out of it. A couple shows I wanted to share include  4-Hour Workweek/Body Author, Tim Ferriss and Mr. ICanMakeYouRich, Ramit Sethi. [...]

And you can change it, you [...]

Tumblr is pwning my ass these days. It’s such a fun network if you follow the right topics, hashtags, and/or users. One of my favourite Tumblrs lately is PrivateNoise.com. Like most succesful Tumblrs it’s a simple concept: Pictures of people listening to music. And the music they’re listening to. But by asking a few questions of the subjects [...]
