Trailer of the latest blockbuster by Mr. Wes Anderson: The Fantastic Mr. Fox.
This one might be huge. Puppets! Stop Motion! And the voices of Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, George Clooney, Owen Wilson, Meryl Streep etc. Sounds like fun.

“Interruption is a dangerous idea. The idea that most offices are set up for interruption… So primarily we’re text based. We think that helps everyone focus on really what they wanna say. Cause when you’re on the phone or so you just keep talkin and talkin. But typing is hard. Typing takes time. It encourages people to be brief.”

Movies I want to see:
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law and flippin’ Tom Waits. Directed by Terry Gilliam. This is going to be fantastic.

“Learn to be in the moment, focusing on one task at a time, and immersing yourself completely in that task. If you aren’t passionate about a certain task, allow yourself to move on to something you’re more passionate about. The more passionate you are about a task or a project, thr more energy you’ll put into it, and the better you’ll do with it.”

“Werte werden nicht mehr in klassischen Büros geschaffen. Wertschöpfung findet statt in Projekten, an unterschiedlichen Orten, zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten, unabhängig und ohne Festanstellung. Diese neue Art der Arbeit sucht ständig nach neuen realen und virtuellen Orten. Benötigt werden offene, digital vernetzte, kollaborative Arbeitsorte, die flexibel sind und als Inkubationsplattform für Netzwerk, Innovation und Produktion dienen.”
