The Frame: The World's Children

The Frame captures again another amazing collection of images. This time it's a little more sobering. They've focused on mainly street children around the world.

How to "Power Through" Writer's Block
Focus.
Yea. That’s one way. Keep whacking away at it.
Writer’s block? Just keep whacking away at it.
Or:
Take a different trail.
Got stuck with your murder mystery? What do you feel like doing? Maybe your muse is whispering about a lost space transport in a parallel dimension of time that appears in the 1980s that we knew. Maybe you should go with that. The murder mystery will still be there when you’re done with that. (Or get stuck with that.)
What if you’re working on deadline? All the more reason to trail off on a tangent. On two tangents. On three tangents. As many as possible, as quickly as possible. Keep iterating, iterating, iterating, till you come back to the murder mystery. And the problem will be solved.
Hey, the tangent you need might even be to go do your accounts.
The thinking behind this theory is thin-slicing, is adaptability, is rapid iterations. In other words: ready, fire, aim.
It is a legitimate technique used by many famous people. (So you know it’s solid.) It’s what they mean when they talk about putting your nose to the grindstone. It’s what they mean when they talk about DOING THE WORK. It’s what they mean when they talk about putting in the hours.
Somerset Maugham and his “inspiration always strikes at precisely 9 am every day”. It’s The War of Art guy’s sitting down and “invoking the muses”. It’s that other guy’s saying that “good art is simply good work”.
Yea, you’ve gotta work, but you can’t sit at the computer and stare at the blinking cursor. You’ve gotta write something. And if you can’t write what you need to write, write something else. Just write. It’ll work itself out eventually.
This is Karma

Why the next Nobel Peace Prize should go to ALL OF US...
via wired.com
"We have finally realized that the Internet is much more than a network of computers. It is an endless web of people. Men and women from every corner of the globe are connecting to one another, thanks to the biggest social interface ever known to humanity. Digital culture has laid the foundations for a new kind of society.
And this society is advancing dialogue, debate and consensus through communication. Because democracy has always flourished where there is openness, acceptance, discussion and participation. And contact with others has always been the most effective antidote against hatred and conflict.
That's why the Internet is a tool for peace.
That's why anyone who uses it can sow the seeds of non-violence.
And that's why the next Nobel Peace Prize should go to the Net.
A Nobel for each and every one of us."
This is the manifesto of a campaign launched this week by Wired Italy to nominate the net - and thereby all of us - for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010.
