How to be creative

How to be creative 08/01/2004 10:13 AM
Hugh Macleod, who draws the great "Gaping Void" toons on the backs of business cards, has posted a long and very good rumination of the formation, nurturing and execution of creative ideas -- complete with comment boards.

10. The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props.

Meeting a person who wrote a masterpiece on the back of a deli menu would not surprise me. Meeting a person who wrote a masterpiece with a silver Cartier fountain pen on an antique writing table in an airy SoHo loft would SERIOUSLY surprise me.

What is the Creative Zen Nano Plus?

What is the Creative Zen Nano Plus? 04/13/2005 08:57 AM

Mike writes:

I was skimming the stores in search of a good mp3 player deal [I lost all my friends trying to get one for free] and I stumbled upon something called a Zen Nano Plus. It's a 1 GB player, and it comes in the usual array of candy colors we've come to expect from Creative.

Some Google searching reveals only prices, capacity, and colors, and it looks a lot an iPod shuffle fighter, to me—512MB and 1GB sizes for $100ish and $150ish, respectively.

But the real question is: will it have a screen?

On "Creative Communities"

On "Creative Communities" 05/07/2004 12:08 PM
Joe Buck commented on one of my earlier posts that when we (or I) use phrases like "creative communities" we tend to slight coders. "Besides the fact that a lot of geeks resent it, it builds unnecessary walls. Many on Jack Valenti’s side of the divide treasure their creative freedom and fight like dogs against any who would block it," Buck writes. I could not agree more. I guess I assume too easily that when we discuss copyright, Free Culture, and creativity, we are discussing the vast array of human creative activities. And I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that my audiences see creativity flowing over arbitrary barriers as I do. After all, "convergence" is not just a marketing or engineering concept. It is the essense of stunning creativity, whether embodied in a Picasso sculpture, a Mozart opera, or a phat video game. So I guess we need to make this point more overtly. After all, as Buck points out, each sub-audience of creators (musicians, composers, screenwriters, directors, hackers, coders, photographers) tend to see these issues in their local contexts -- "how does Kelly v. Arriba affect me?" When I speak publicly, I try to get musicians, for instance, to see that Alice Randall's experience with getting The Wind Done Gone published is something they might have to experience themselves. And that as cultural citizens, they should be concerned about her experience anyway. BTW, in The Anarchist in the Library, I make the case that the appeals court had to cheat to get The Wind Done Gone published. It is not a parody of Gone with the Wind. It is a transformative work that should have been allowed on those grounds. But the court was not willing to move beyond the narrowest reading of Campbell v. Acuff Rose. So we are stuck trying to force non-parodies into parodic costumes just to avoid prior restraint.

How to Be Creative -- the book

How to Be Creative -- the book 12/28/2004 05:28 AM
Cory Doctorow: Back in August, I bl ogged about Hugh Macleod's "How to Be Creative" project. Hugh draws cartoons on the backs of business cards and works in advertising; his How to Be Creative is a meditation on creativity, individualism and commercialism, and it's full of pithy, clear, no-nonsense advice.\

Now Hugh has expanded the piece into a short book, which is online in its entirety. He's found an agent and the agent is shopping the book -- I'd certainly buy a copy!

Chaos can be a positive thing. Chaos is inherently part of the creative act. To embrace creativity means you must also embrace chaos. Things don't happen when everything is neat and "just so". Creativity is all about distruption. The people who tell you that creativity is pain-free are liars. The people who tell you they've got a plan are liars. There is no plan. There's just you, God and the need to invent. And this uncertain world is what most of us now find ourselves entering, willingly or otherwise.

Creativity equals chaos. Chaos equals creativity. Embrace it or die. I've already done so. I know all about it. It almost cost me my liver but like I said, education is expensive.

The Creative Age is upon us. The Chaotic Age is upon us. We are scared. Damn right, we should be scared. But out of the terror comes the amazing opportunities for us to expand both on the material and spiritual level. The fewer safety nets there are to save us, the less choice we have to be anything other than ourselves, the less choice we have besides doing what is meaningful to us. And finding ourselves, doing what matters, becoming the person we were born to be, this is what God put on this earth to do.

We live in amazing and interesting times. If we're lucky, while on this earth we can do a damn good job proving i

After considering a lot of the feedback and statistics from the original Creative Commons licenses, we (I personally was only a small part of this) have launched the 2.0 licenses which I think make them easier to use and easier to understand. Congratulations and thanks to the team for all the work and an excellent step forward.

Do You Own a Creative Audigy?

Do You Own a Creative Audigy? 03/22/2005 04:23 PM

If you purchased a Creative Labs Audigy series soundcard before the end of 2004, you can get 25% of the purchase price back in a class action lawsuit. The offer ends September 25th, 2005 so hurry! Go to this website address for legal documentation.

Here is more from the Inquirer ..  Creative claimed that the products in question could handle 24-bit audio at 96Khz – indeed this was stated on the product boxes in bold letters, and in all advertising. But complaints filed in 2003 pointed out that this was only true in a very limited set of circumstances, and pretty much all of the audio passing through the cards would actually be processed at lower quality… Owners of all of the original Audigy series are included in the proposed settlement. This includes the Audigy ES, Audigy Platinum, Audigy Platinum eX, Audigy Gamer, Audigy MP3+ and also the original Extigy external USB sound module. Creative did not admit liability, but graciously agreed to settle the embarrassing case. Anyone, anywhere who purchased one of these products before the end of 2004, and is unhappy with the audio processing, will be able to get 25 per cent off the cost of their next purchase from Creative's website, up to a limit of $62.50.

Creative or Reactive

Creative or Reactive 06/10/2004 04:57 AM

If the history remembers me, I would like to be remembered as someone who constantly struggled against the limits of creativity.  While I have been accused of excessive creativity by many, I am constantly and painfully aware of how incidental creativity is.

My mental model of human brain is a bed of wax on which a steel ball of consciousness rolls about.  The model captures my belief that thinking itself changes the person and affects how the person thinks in the future.  More one travels the same path, the channel of habitual thoughts deepens and thus raises the necessary force needed to escape the channel into new areas.  Events happening around us affect the direction and momentum of the moving ball.

From this perspective, being creative means possessing a oddly shaped mind that reacts in uncommon ways to common events and brainstorming aggregates oddity for higher yield.

Creative Quietly Launches New Zen

Creative Quietly Launches New Zen 03/22/2005 04:45 PM

Creative is apparently launching a new Zen, a full-size version of the Zen Micro, with a 20GB hard drive. Other than the size and capacity increase, it appears to be exactly the same. If you like the Zen Micro—and it's a pretty decent player, for sure—then you might be excited. The playback time is a little skimpy at 11 hours, but we'll manage.

There's no talk of price or color information, but I'd be surprised if Creative, after all the SKUs they've added to stores lately with the 4/5/6GB Zen Micros, would be reticent to add another dozen or so.

Support Creative Commons

Support Creative Commons 12/19/2004 02:55 PM

Friends of Creative Commons,

As 2004 draws to a close, Creative Commons is strong. In the past two years since Creative Commons licenses have been available, we've taken our first large first steps with you--building some of the essential tools, adding critical pieces of infrastructure and assembling a vibrant community.

In 2004, Glenn, Larry, and the legal team made huge improvements and released version 2.0 of the main Creative Commons licenses. These new versions added many needed features while at the same time they reduced the complexity of the licenses for our users. Christine, Roland and all of the iCommons volunteers worldwide took that work, and have ported Creative Commons licenses to 12 countries. We expect to add another dozen countries early next year, and we're in conversation with more than 70.

We've found more than 5,000,000 pages with content and links back to our licenses. But the commons is about more than simply putting the work out there. So, Mike, Neeru, Matt, and Nutch.org have collaborated to develop and debut a metadata search engine that makes it easy to find content marked with Creative Commons licenses. As if that were not enough, that search functionality now ships with the amazing Firefox browser from mozilla.org.

Neeru and the tech team have also worked with other software developers to make it easy to integrate Creative Commons licenses. The list is long, and includes Flickr, Moveable Type, Squarespace, Manila, Archive.org, WinkSite, plus DMusic, Soundclick, Garageband.com, and others I'm sure I've forgotten.

We're nearer to making worry-free sampling and re-creativity mainstream. What better place to start than the cover of WIRED magazine? The WIRED CD contains sixteen sampling-friendly tunes -- and includes the Beastie Boys, David Byrne, Gilberto Gil, Chuck D and more.

In 2005 we will continue to build our worldwide community of contributors to free culture. We will continue to enable more images, music, films and text, and we'll start to work on the Science Commons. We'll have much more to tell you about it at the start of the year.

ou can help make Creative Commons and "some rights reserved" household phrases. Visit http://creativecommons.org/ support/ and you'll find out how you can make your contribution via PayPal, Amazon's Honor System, or by sending a check to Creative Commons at 543 Howard Street, 5th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105.

Thank you for your support. It's not the commons without you.

Creative Commons Europe

Creative Commons Europe 03/22/2005 04:43 PM

I had the good fortune to attend the Creative Commons Europe summit in Amsterdam this week. The meeting, part of the Creative Capital conference, was organized by the Waag Society's Paul Keller, the public project lead of CC-Netherlands. It was one of those great happenings, more and more frequent these days, that snap your eyes open to Creative Commons' long-term potential, and to how far we've come already: over 40 European Creative Commons project leads and volunteers from Spain, the Ukraine, and everywhere in between, brainstorming for two days about organizational structures, promotion strategy, and tough legal issues, like a free-culture EU. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone -- many for the first time -- after so many email exchanges, and having the chance to listen to their stories about all their work. Paul deserves a medal (if we had those to give out) for pulling the event together, and there aren't words to describe Creative Commons' indebtedness to Christiane Asschenfeldt and Roland Honekamp for coordinating, over only the last year and a half no less, the development of such a great network of people. It was one of those events that feels both like a milestone and yet a beginning. Indeed, watch this space as we try to develop similar meetings around the world. (Photos will soon follow, too.)

Creative Capital Conference

Creative Capital Conference 03/19/2005 03:18 AM

I'm now at the Creative Capital Conference. Free WiFi. Yay! The DNS from the DHCP didn't work though so you have to find one and enter it directly... anyway.

It looks like a very interesting conference. Some of my favorite speakers are here including Charles Leadbeater and Pekka Himanen (who I was just with in Madrid). The other speakers sound interesting too and I look forward to their presentations. I will be giving a keynote on the 18th at 11:00, doing at Q&A at 11:30 and will be on the "Publicly Financed Content" panel at 13:00.

Today, the 17th, there will an all-afternoon gathering of Creative Commons projects from across Europe. This is the first time they've assembled in one meeting and I look forwarded to hearing about all of the projects.

The mayor of Amsterdam is speaking now kicking off the talk with a quote from Richard Florida talking about how businesses seek out creative people, but people seek out cities with other creative people. He is talking about the creative capital of cities.

I've been using Richard Florida's "Creative Class" to identify the new class of people who are anti-establishment, proactive, creative, connected... you know... us. Francesco Cara and Jyri Engeström turned me on to Richard Florida's work. (Everyone else in the world appears to already have known about him once I started to get excited.) I just read Karrie Jacobs's criticism of Richard Florida and his Creative Class quoting a discussion with John Thackara, the organizer of Doors of Perception, the conference I will be speaking at next. (via Gen Kanai) It's an interesting criticism and it argues that "In other words, Florida has taken something qualitative and turned it into something quantitative." I agree with some of the points, but I think that there is a class of people who seem to have more similarities across countries than other people in the region. If you look at the proliferation of things like social networking software and blogs in countries like Brazil and Iran, I think that broadband users in these countries have more similarities to the creative class in other countries than to their parents. I think that from a social software and remix culture perspective, this is very interesting.
