A Word from Einstein

Get Your Mind Out

Came across this print by Geoff McFetridge (one of our favorite artists) and wanted to share it with you all. Your mind doesn’t do you any good if you’re not speaking it into the world.

Moving the Desert

As humans, we tend to have a very narrow view of time. It’s hard for us to pick up on things that aren’t immediate or dramatic in scope. Change often goes unnoticed if it’s too slow. And so, as we near the end of 2011, it’s important to look back on our year with a magnifying glass, to understand and appreciate the changes that have occurred in each of our lives, and the change that we’ve caused in the world.

When you’re moving the desert grain by grain, it might not look like anything is different. But it is. Whether we can sense it or not, change is all around us. We are its makers. We are its subjects.

From everyone at Fishbird, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
We’ll see you in 2012.

Things Will Never Be the Same

Nice little snippet from an old Steve Jobs’ interview that says it all.

Creative Mornings with Christoph Niemann

Another gem from Creative Mornings, this time with guest Christoph Niemann, Berlin-based illustrator and creative. Appreciate the humor.

Joao Silva on the Human Spirit

Joao Silva is an award-winning war photographer and one of our personal heroes. Late last year, while on assignment in Afghanistan for the New York Times, he stepped on a land mine, blowing off the bottoms of both legs. Last weekend, he competed in the hand cycle competition of the New York City Marathon. It’s a true testament to the strength of the human spirit.

Anything is possible.
