// a few thoughts on remote work for animators (especially important for aspiring animators) my story: let's rewind the clock back to this animation. You're looking at a very rare 17 year old gameplay prototype animation done for the next gen Prince of Persia series at the time. What... crazy about this clip is that it was done by 1 animator in a couple days. I literally saw it animated from start to end with my own eyes. The animation quality in this clip is off the charts, especially when you take into account the animations being released during that era. Now imagine me, in my squeaky chair, swiveling around every few hours to feast my eyes on this animator's dual 27-inch ViewSonic CRT screens. There was an air of magic in those moments, seeing the Prince of Persia coming to life only a few meters from my desk. When I would turn back to try and resume my work, my first thoughts were always "how the heck is he animating so fast and so well!" - What's even more puzzling was how he had so much control over the 3dsmax Biped, it had NO friggen F-curves, for crying out loud! loll - who was this animator? The monitors I would stare at from my desk belonged to Emile Ghorayeb. Just search his name and you'll see his IMDB credits. He was THAT good back then so you can only imagine how insanely good he is right now! Today, he's a very good friend of mine that I love very much and we have a lot of wonderful industry related memories that we share! - why does going to the office matter? Every day going to the office, I'd be really excited to see my team and eager to see what Emile was working on! I couldn't wait to dive into my own animations, driven by the aspiration that one day, just maybe, I could reach a level of skill and finesse comparable to the incredible quality he brought to his animations. - conclusion Remote work is wonderful, don't get me wrong, it's given us all opportunities we would have never had before and I'm super grateful for it. That said, for next generation of talent that hasn't yet experienced it. Try and work from the office, if you can. In my opinion, it's the best place to learn, to get inspired and certainly the best place to make some wonderful friends that will be a part of your animation journey for life! Thanks for reading if you made it this far! ps. turn on the sound and enjoy this rare gem of animation! 💎show more

Oh man what an amazing story, PoP 2 is probably the first spark the lead me to be an animator, I remember the exact animation that made me scream for the first this is the best game ever. Also totally agree with you, working on an office is amazing, I learned to animate that way.

So basically - go into the office to be distracted by and to distract other people who are working? You don't get this good by not being self motivated. Stay out of the office. Invest in yourself so you can be a good asset to others and live a good life, don't get burned out.

there are valid points to both sides. Remote work offers autonomy, but being in an office can foster collaboration, inspiration, and mentorship. Balance is key, finding what works best for personal growth and team dynamics.

@bclark_cgchar Priceless! 17yrs ago, I stumbled into Activision/Treyarch seeking animation critiques w/ only that same 3DS Max biped, no geometry (b4 doubling-down on rigging masterclasses h/t Maya/MB) TL;DR, collective >sum of energy among peers in lab/studio is intoxicating, tenfold vs WFH!

My one big question for animations like these is: How in blazes do you get proper reference for such a masive shot? Do you just search parkour shots and then paste them together like some Frankestein? or rather how much of these kind of shots is left to the imagination??

I know it might be hard to believe but he never used any references. It was all coming from his imagination! He was legit able to create from thin air. I saw it with my own eyes. @luciomennillo was working with us at the office, he can confirm this story.

Chris Camillo says AI is accelerating so fast that going to school might not be worth it anymore "One of my kids is 16 years old and he drives himself to school, and one day he slept in and I was so astonished. I was like, how is that even possible? If I would have done that as a kid, the thought of what my parents would have done to me" "But there was a part of me in the back of my head, does it even matter anymore? I'm looking at my kid going to school and I am like, why are you even in school? I know I can't say that to them, but does any of this really matter at all right now? The world is moving so quickly that the stuff you're learning is just too slow"

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

It was two years ago today that two armed federal agents showed up to my home. We knew they chose that day, June 23, 2023, for a specific reason. It was one of the most important days of my life - my graduation from surgical training. Because of all the sacrifice that comes from surgical training, these are one of those moments you never forget. A few hours before the ceremony (so a few hours before this video was filmed) armed agents were at my door. My wife, Andrea, and I knew they chose that day because of what it represented. They were using the value of my accomplishments as the means to extort my compliance with their corrupt investigation. They were holding my entire future hostage and hoping I would be overwhelmed by fear. But that's not what happened. After the agents left, for those first few moments we were terrified but then something changed. We were angry, righteously indignant, hopelessly defiant. The political insanity over the preceding years had taken away so much from us - our country as we knew it, our hopes for the future, the friends we cared about, and so much else. They came to my home that day to take more. But that was the day we decided we weren't going to let them take away anything else. The line in the sand had been drawn. Instead of hiding in fear, Andrea and I opened a few bottles of champaign, sat on our patio, played Vietnam war music, and chain smoked a whole pack of cigarettes (both of us are nonsmokers but it seemed like the right thing to do in the moment). We went to my graduation that night and celebrated everything we accomplished. Today was the first time I saw my graduation video and the speech one of my attendings gave about me. It's overwhelming to think back to that night and to listen to those words. I remember standing on that stage that night and thinking to myself that all of the reasons he gave for why I was a good surgeon were the same reasons federal agents were at my door a few hours before. I was being targeted not because I had done something wrong but because I upheld the principles of my profession. They thought they would destroy me, have me renounce what I knew to be good and true, and turn me to dust. But as we all know now, a totally different story played out. And for the people who were responsible for this treacherous corruption, the story is only just beginning.

In the End. A Song Dedicated to my brother Earl M. Hunter. My oldest brother has passed on. A very unexpected way to start off my 2025. My brother was so proud of me and everything I accomplished over the years and he never hid it. Even when I felt like y’all weren’t listening to my music or paying attention to things I would be doing I knew ONE person that was watching everything that I was doing and was happy about it everything. From day one my brother always had my back , besides I was the youngest so they always felt like they had to protect me. As we got older much really didn’t change , he always remained the big brother to me until his last day here. I’m really going to miss my brother. It’s weird that someone you have known your whole entire existence is completely gone now. As I get older I do realize that I’m going to see a lot things in life , something’s good ,and something things “bad”but that’s LIFE. I have learned to accept that. My brother always stressed the fact that it’s FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING and during this whole process my family really came together and did what a family is supposed to do and I know that he would love that. Earl aka Mr “Top of the morning” until next time, I Love you for Life and After my brother. This song is for YOU!

I really, really, really wanted to drop this song last year. When I first put out the snippet, I was so excited - but it was hard to finish it on time because everything was a blur. I was sick and weak and nauseous and tired and my body just wouldn't do what I wanted it to. Even in the snippet video, I wasn't feeling great. I was just trying my best. I adore Chike's voice and I knew it was him that had to be on the song with me. When I asked him to give me a verse, he was so ready to go, but he was out of town. As soon as he came back, he came over to my studio the next day 🥹. I got a lotta respect for him. He didn't know I was pregnant and suffering 😅 Watching this video back now, I can't even understand where the energy came from. When the song was done, I struggled to mix it. Even so, I decided to master it myself. I hate mastering, so I don't know what I thinking. I was so disappointed that I couldn't meet the deadline. Everyone had fallen in love with the song and was asking me to put it out. I didn't have the energy to make content. I don't even remember them recording this video. Given how much I love this song, I'm a little bummed I couldn't give it energy it deserves. But please, know that a lot of love and resilience went into this song. I hope that you can let less be more for this one. I hope you can give it the energy that I couldn't. That I can't. PS: This is a chance for those of you that say I gave up my career for marriage to fight(?) for my uhm...rights? That or stfu. WHERE YOU DEY > Simi ft Chiké out everywhere now 🩵🩵 produced by Niphkeys mixed/mastered by Simi

"That pussy Adam Cole broke his ankle like the complete dork that he is." MJF talks about the revisionist history of his story with Adam Cole "Here's what happened. At the time, and this is just a fact, we were the highest minute-for-minute drawing angle, not just in AEW, but in all of professional wrestling at that point. We were moving the most merch in the company. At that point, and was to no fault, Bloodline's going to go down as one of the greatest long-term thing, but at that point there was a bit of lull in their story at that point in 2023, and we had taken lead and Better Than You, Baby is what everybody was talking about and then that pussy Adam Cole broke his ankle like the complete dork that he is and then he decided to turn on me because he's a horrible human being. But I learned a lot in that in that year I learned a lot about myself you know when I when I was out—full disclosure I was in a very dark place." I also asked about the injuries he had suffered "It was my hip, my left shoulder; my last two pay-per-view matches—pretty much the left side of my body was useless. But I wasn't going to tell the doctors that because that's not how I was brought up. In not just in real life, but in this business. When I had that time off, I had a lot of time to reflect and it made me angry. Now I look back on it and I shouldn't have been angry at the fans. Who I should have been angry was that myself. Because I went from being, ‘MJF is the best thing since sliced bread,’ and within a flip of a switch, ‘It's MJF sucks. He's killing this company that we love.’ It took, if we're being honest, it took all the way into like the first month of this year of 2025 for everybody to be like, ‘Maybe we were harsh. Maybe he's actually still one of the best in the world. They can't help it. But I know why. It's because nobody likes a braggart. But the unfortunate thing is I can't help myself. I'm just really good at my job and I can't help but talk about it."

Karl-Anthony Towns talks about feeling the presence of his late mother and the support he's gotten from his fiancé, Jordyn Woods: "Her presence is always felt in my life. You always pray you're going to pick the right woman for you and I know I did in my fiancé. I damn sure know now with that bag, that bag held it down. Shout-out to Woods by Jordyn. It's crazy, when she passed, there was so much turmoil in my life. Funny enough, my fiancé was the one, who was a friend at the time, was the only person I got to call before I had to go out there and say bye to her at the hospital. Me and her have a real bond that goes deeper than just physical features and everything like that. We've got a true friendship that was built from the ground up. I remember just always asking her if this was going to be my last time seeing her in the physical, let me feel her spirit at all times. In moments of true pressure and a lot of things going on, I always feel this calming come to me and it's always her. It's just great to always feel her arms around me and always to feel her love in my life, in so many different ways. It's a testament. I haven't felt love from a woman like that until I met my fiancé. It really means a lot that, in a way - without sounding weird - Jackie Jr. was able to be here celebrating this moment with me. It's amazing. It's truly a humbling feeling when you know you have walked the path. I stayed faithful. In every decision that I was supposed to make, I made the right one. Feels good to be at this moment."

It's amazing. It's truly a humbling feeling when you know you have walked the path. I stayed faithful. In every decision that I was supposed to make, I made the right one. Feels good to be at this moment."

JADE gets emotional reflecting on her North American tour in a new TikTok: “I’m having so much fun on this tour. I just feel so grateful that I’m getting to do this at this point in my career. The fact that I get to tour [North America] after being in the industry for 15 years, and only now just getting to do my own headline tour, is incredible. It’s been a long time coming. What’s really beautiful about these shows is that when I look into the audience, I recognise so many of the fans here from back in the day, who’ve literally waited for years – like me! – for this moment. It just makes me feel so loved and supported to know people have believed in me enough to stick around for years waiting for this to happen. Anyone that’s bought a ticket, dressed up, made their own costumes… It’s just such a lovely, beautiful thing. I hope they can see when I’m on stage just how much that means to me, and how much I love performing and putting on the best show that I possibly can every single night. I will never ever take it for granted. I’m just so chuffed that I get to do this for a living… be a silly pop girlie, write and create music that brings people – and myself – a lot of joy… Thank you for believing in me. I literally get on the bunk on my bus most nights from the tour and just lie there like, ‘Oh my god! As if this is my life!’ It means a lot. I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life… Full of gratitude and lots of all the lovely emotions. Thank you so much.”

The Tkachuk brothers and Connor Hellebuyck on the importance of representing Team USA... Hellebuyck: “Yeah, you know, it's one of those things, the more you say it, the more it shocks me [the U.S. had not won since 1980]. I know, as a kid, I always dreamed of watching those guys, and my big dream was to be like them one day and now, I'm in those shoes, and the next generation is looking up at us, and I want to be that role model. I want to be as good as I can on and off the ice for those kids, and I want them to know their dreams can come true. I was that young kid chasing a dream and you never know what tomorrow brings, and, you know, it can happen. Hard work, and smart work, and doing the right things. It does pay off. Matthew Tkachuk: “My dad was lucky enough to finish in four Olympics. The best he finished was a silver in Salt Lake. And he, you know, wouldn't have traded any of those experiences for that experience, he just had in Italy for us. Like, he — to him, to my mom, to my sister, to, you know, our wives, families, everything, like it was the most incredible time, probably anybody has ever had in the sport of hockey. So, we're so lucky for the support. We're so lucky for the support from our dad. I still talk to him daily about everything hockey, life-related, and I'm shocked he actually didn't cry to be honest with you, but he was very, very proud. Brady Tkachuk: “Yeah, I think that's the best part about our job is being able to be those role models, like Helle was saying, like the 1980 team, influenced so many players, then that 1996 World Cup team influenced our generation, and we — we even talked about it, that we had an opportunity in front of us that we could really impact the next generation of, you know, kids in the U.S., and, you know, a kid watching that game that never thought he would be playing hockey and ends up picking up a hockey stick and ends up being the next superstar in the NHL. So, we’re very fortunate and blessed to be in this position and to be a role model for kids.”

Jayson Tatum on his message of gratitude to the team yesterday: “It was one, just being vulnerable, showing my appreciation to the team, of how they have played this season, how they motivated me every single day. The joy and competitive nature that they displayed, I wanted to be a part of that. And I say it all the time, going through rehab and being injured is lonely. It's not intentional. I couldn't practice for a while, I couldn't be in the game. When they were on the court, I was in the weight room, having to do my own thing. So you feel isolated, in a sense. “But I just expressed that being around as much as possible, going to games, being on the plane, really made me feel like I was still very much a part of the team, and how thankful to the group for just being themselves. I was thankful to the coaches that extended their days a lot by helping me during rehab and on the court and pick-up games [for] my conditioning. So I really just kind of telling everybody in the room that they all played a part in essentially helping me get to this moment.”

A message from Nicko: Hello Boys and Girls, I hope this message finds you all well! The reason I'm writing to you all today is to let you know of a very serious health problem that I have been through. In January I had a stroke, thank the Lord it was a minor one referred to as a TIA. It left me paralyzed on my right side from my shoulder on down, of course I was very worried that my career was over but with the love and support from my wife, Rebecca and family, my doctors, especially Julie my OT (Occupational Therapist), and my Maiden family I was able to bounce back to somewhere near 70% recovered. After 10 weeks of intense therapy it was almost time to start rehearsals for our tour. I feel it's important to let you know about this now instead of earlier as I was mainly concerned with doing my job and concentrating on getting back to 100% fitness. I'm not there yet but by the grace of God I'm getting better and stronger as the weeks go by. Thank you all for a most wonderful and magical tour so far, you have all been so amazing. Well that's it from me. God bless you all, stay safe and well and I look forward to seeing you all somewhere in time. 🙂🙂 Nicko Manager Rod Smallwood adds - “The rest of the band and l think that what Nicko has been able to achieve since his stroke shows incredible belief and willpower and we are all very proud of him. With this new and musically very complex set to learn ahead of him, he just got his head down and concentrated on recovery. We honestly did not know if he would be able to play a whole show until band rehearsals started in May and there was just so much support for him from the band and then genuine relief for all when we saw he was going to be able to do it!” "Nicko being Nicko he did not want to make a fuss and cause any distraction to the tour at the time but, now that he is sure he will soon get there, he thought you fans should know straight from him rather than by any rumours!" "We are all of course delighted he battled through this so well and look forward to many more tours together starting with the three Western Canada shows and Power Trip in California coming up in a couple of months time. We can’t wait! This tour is that good!” #IronMaiden #NickoMcBrain #TheFuturePastTour

Watch Lady Gaga’s complete performance of her Grammy Award–winning song “Joanne” from last night’s MAYHEM Ball in Stockholm: “I don’t even remember how long ago it was exactly, but there was a time that I was supposed to come here on tour, and I had to cancel. It was on the Joanne World Tour, and I always wondered how that would have been—that I didn’t get to come here and play that music for you, and share that time in my life with you. I feel really grateful that I’m able to come on tour again and be with you all again. This is very special. My album Joanne was very unique in my catalog, I think, because it was so revealing about my family. I really know how much I needed to make that record, and for those of you that supported me in making that record—thank you so much. Maybe it was the subject matter, or the style, or the lyrics, or the way that I departed completely from everything to just go on a completely new ride with myself. Something that people maybe don’t know about my fans is that so many of you go on the ride with me no matter where I go, and I appreciate that so much, because people change, and we need to grow and learn about life in a different way. Anyway, I thought while I was here, I could play you a song from Joanne that’s very special to me. I’d like to dedicate this song to my family and to my grandmother. This is ‘Joanne.’”

LIFE UPDATE 🧡 I first want to say I am incredibly grateful to God and all the opportunities He has given me. For those of you that don’t know my story, I started my Bitcoin journey at the very end of 2020. Bitcoin came at such a pivotal point in my life, and I know it was God working in the background so He could connect me with incredible people that would leave a footprint in my heart forever. Shortly after, I started working at Swan 🦢. When I tell you the HONOR it is to have been with such an incredible team. Back then, when I was on team calls with , Brady Swenson, Brandon Quittem, Brekkie⚒️, Yan | swan.com and others, I felt overwhelmed with gratitude and at the same time so blessed. These people who are incredibly smart and experienced in their craft became my teachers. I was a just baby Swan starting my Bitcoin journey, but incredibly hungry and eager to learn. Later on, I got to work closely with Kristin Thompson and the rest of the Pacific Bitcoin team 🧡 When I tell you this team is magic, it feels like an understatement. Although today it is time for Swan and I to part ways, I know this is God once again working in the background for incredible things in my life. All I can say is thank you Swans for a wild and crazy journey and for being a testament that there really is a brighter future ahead for all of us. So…What will happen with Camila!? Only God knows ❤️. And that gives me all the peace I need. I have a lot of beautiful things happening in my life right now and the most beautiful family. This is a perfect moment for me to pause, breathe, reflect, and plan for what is to come! My life mission is simple. Be light and love to those around me and serve. I truly believe that as a Bitcoiner, I also have the responsibility to educate however I can. It’s in our DNA, right? I’m excited to continue to share my life journey with all of you so thank you, all of you, for joining me on this awesome ride ✨ I want to leave you guys with the video that started it all for me 😂🧡😎 As Jim Rohn always said, “The best is yet to come.” Much love and talk soon! Camila Campton 🧡

Jon Rahm on the LIV format: “Yeah, obviously there’s been a bit of a change. There was a lot more about LIV Golf that was attractive to me, right. Yeah, maybe the format was a set back in the past, but at the same time there’s a lot of positives to it as well. And one of the things that a lot of players kept mentioning is you don’t have a wave weather difference, where you can simply get unlucky and you’re out of contention for that tournament. It’s part of the game, I get it, but it’s something you don’t have to deal with anymore. So that part is a very nice aspect. The team is what really made it for me. Being able to be part of a team, represent a team, play for my teammates, with my teammates and against my teammates, is something that to me that has always been very, very special. When you get a victory to share, it’s always better to have a team to share it with. So it’s what was the most attractive part and when we started discussions it gets to a point where even though I’m ambitious, I’m not greedy. So there’s a give and take and the format is something that I can easily overlook, and I’m pretty sure I can learn to enjoy it, I’ll just have to get used to it, but I’m pretty sure I’ll learn to enjoy it. To be honest, the more I started thinking about it, the more I started thinking about my college days that were 3 day tournaments, 54 holes, and everybody warmed up together for the most part. So it shouldn’t be an environment I’m unfamiliar with.” This is from the LIV podcast called “Fairway to Heaven”. Full link:

Full video of Lady Gaga performing “Grigio Girls” at the MAYHEM Ball in Stockholm last night, which she dedicated to her late friend Sonja Durham 🖤 "Last night, I had a dream that my friend came to me, my friend Sonja came to me in my dream. And I don't if many of you know this story, but I have a friend that I lost to breast cancer. She was very very special to me, and I wrote a song for her on my album Joanne, and the song is called 'Grigio Girls', and I just wanted to take a moment tonight and sing it for you because my album Joanne was about loss. And, you know, some of my albums are about things that are very different from that, MAYHEM is certainly very different from that. But I wondered if maybe there were some people in the audience that have been through some loss in their life, and had some grief. I wrote this song about how me and my girlfriends used to get together, and we would get together without her, so that we could cry about it, and we would pour white wine and we called ourselves the grigio girls. I'd like to dedicate this to Sonja tonight."

🐥 Have I ever told you about the time I had sleep paralysis? No? No? It was actually back during Boys Planet. I haven’t had it since then. It was when I was preparing the stage for Switch, which we put together in such a short time. It was one of the hardest times. I wasn’t sleeping in my usual room then. I was sharing a room with a close friend. That night, I fell asleep… and then suddenly, my eyes opened. When I opened them, that friend was sleeping while facing me with his head turned toward me. But I didn’t think much of it, just closed my eyes again. Then I opened my eyes once more and suddenly, that friend was gone! I thought “Ah, maybe he went to the bathroom.” The bathroom was over there, and I was here [middle], and he had been sleeping next to me but wasn’t anymore. So I assumed he went to the bathroom. But then I closed my eyes again and opened them… and someone was standing right in front of my bed. And it was that friend. He was standing there! And then suddenly started sliding sideways, slowly walking toward me. But my body wouldn’t move. I was trying to speak, but all I could do was stare with my eyes open. Just blinking like this. Then suddenly, that friend leaned his head toward my shoulder! Like a drill! At that moment, chills ran all over my body. He kept coming closer, like drilling into me. Then I remembered, if you get sleep paralysis, you can break out of it by starting to move your toes slowly, one by one. So I closed my eyes and started wiggling my toes little by little to wake myself up. Eventually, the paralysis broke. When I finally opened my eyes for real, my friend was right there next to me again, sleeping, facing me exactly as before. Actually… I still haven’t told that friend this story. I was scared it might bring bad luck. That was the first and only time in my life I experienced sleep paralysis. Just imagine it. Your friend is lying next to you sleeping, and suddenly, he is standing by your bed with his eyes rolled back, leaning his head toward you like a drill. That’s scary! That was the first time I ever had sleep paralysis and I haven’t had it since.

I’m trying to compute the last couple days and honestly I’m absolutely fucking shattered. You have been my North Star for everything for as long as I can remember from when I was misunderstood as a child to the way people thought I was just a little “too much” or “strange” in my life and career. I owe so much to you, your wife and your family - you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up. You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man. You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box. I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot. To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life. You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy. For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.

I owe so much to you, your wife and your family - you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up. You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man. You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box. I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot. To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life. You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy. For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.

Jack Dorsey on becoming a better storyteller: "I found myself very early on thinking about something like thinking about this early idea for Twitter and saying to myself, I could build this awesome. You have those shower-like moments, or you're walking at midnight in some town in New York City, and you've got these amazing brand ideas. And then you start thinking, well, I could really start doing this if only X and if I had this person or if this technology existed or if this happened or this happened. And what I realized was that I was constantly making excuses for not working on it. And then the window had passed, and then I couldn't do anything. So I think it's really, really important to write it out or to draw it out or to code it. But you need to get it out of your head. And the reason you have to get it out of your head is that you need to be able to see it on a surface that is not in your mind. And once you can see it, and once you can step back from it, then you can also decide this passes my filter, my constraints, so maybe I can show it and share it with some other people. And then they will be like that's the stupidest idea ever and or that's somewhat interesting, but maybe this and this and this. So the sooner you can do that, then you have a lot of momentum around it, and you can really decide if you want to commit to it and work on it more or put it on the shelf for a later date. And the realization that I think everyone needs to have about that latter option, putting it on the shelf, is that you can come back to it and it will surface back up in another piece of work or another idea at some point in your life. So having that ability to close off a chapter and move on is really, really important. You can't have all these open threads, and that's what I realized I was doing. And that also encouraged me to really write more and to really think about what's the story? How are people coming to this? And like when I show my friends this, how are they going to react and I would write it down. I would actually treat it like a play. And when I realized that I was writing plays, I read a lot more plays for style and for substance and for technique and I think it's really good. I think there is another company that I have always looked towards for inspiration and I know a number of people in this room probably have a similar company in mind, which is Apple. Apple, I think, is run like a theater company. It has a great sense of pacing, has a great sense of story and has a great sense of execution and it's all about event-driven, it's all stage-driven, the stage being a billboard or the stage being a keynote or the stage being a product launch. All of it has a very, very cohesive end-to-end story. I mean you think about what happened when Steve Jobs came back to the company. The first thing he did was kill every product line the company was working on. And for two years,rs they had no product on the market whatsoever. All they had were a bunch of posters all around the world with Steve Jobs' heroes, and it said, think different. And it was just focused on bringing up the brand and making people aware of the brand again and how the brand is aligning to this particular feeling and story. And then they came out with the iMac and then built iTunes and then the iPod, and they realized that, wait a minute, people are carrying music on their phones now, so we better build a phone, an iPhone. And so this unfolding of the plot and the epic story has been very, very interesting to watch, especially if you look back to that time when he came back to the company. So I've learned a lot from that company and other companies that operate in a similar fashion."
