These social media shoes are created by the 22-year-old graphic designer Lumen Bigott from Venezuela. It’s a line of concept shoes. So (unfortunately) you cannot buy them.
Oops! Nobody wants to see the 404: Page Not Found. But as Renny Gleeson shows us, while he runs through a slideshow of creative and funny 404 pages, every error is really a chance to build a better relationship.
I didn’t know, that there was still Danish guys my own age speaking English with such a Danish accent. But nevertheless… this is a must-see video.
Bobby Ågren is the guy behind this eclectic project. He’s running a shop called Ruben & Bobby, a retro-gaming and toys shop located in Jægersborggade 6, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Here you can buy, sell or trade old games from the 70s, 80s and 90s and in the meantime get a haircut!
Even though this is a 12 minute bike ride away from where I live, I’ve never seen, nor either heard of this place. But I sure dig his unique concept!
The video is created by Copenhagers.
I’ve seen this kind of time-lapse concept many times before. With traffic, scenery and people and so forth. But they keep on being fascinating, I think. Especially the ones with faces.
Here Frans Hofmeester filmed his daughter Lotte every week, from birth up until se turned 12 years old an then made this time-lapse edit in FCP.
The Panamericana School of Art and Design campaign created by advertising agency AlmapBBDO, São Paulo, Brazil shows sheets used to test student’s creativity level. The object is to come up as many ideas as possible for a symbol in a limited amount of time.
Thank to @hanskfroschauer for showing me this!
I don’t know who did this merge (slash rip off) of a modern city and Vincent Van Gogh‘s famous painting from 1889, The Starry Night. But it looks cool!
I forgot to post this video. It actually moved me to tears at one point in the movie. So watch it. This 9-year-old is truly inspiring. And so is his first customer. A man who sees the potential in a creative kid. And then acts out of gratefulness.
Caine is only 9. But he managed to build a whole arcade with lots of games to play… out of cardboard! In this movie, he’s about to have the best day in his life, so far.
Directed by Nirvan.
Big thanks to @SaintCav for finding this.
The awesome people from Swiss agency Relax In The Air found out I was going to SXSW in Austin in March. So were they. So after following each other on platforms like Twitter and Instagram, we were finally able to meet.
“Laura, can we please make an interview with you?”, they asked. “We don’t want to take all your time, so 5 minutes is good”…
… But then they sent me 3 questions:
One about what I think of SXSW. One about my blog and how I use it for my business. And then this: “What’s the Next Big Thing?”
As if I can talk for only 5 minutes about ideas and thoughts on next big things? 
So the interview turned into an hour of me talking… in one big mess as the thoughts entered the mind. But Relax In The Air has cut down the video to 40 minutes! Yay! And if you take the time to listen to it, there’s actually a great deal of stuff to think about, take in, or be inspired from. So please do 
And leave a comment here, if you want to.
It was a wonderful experience meeting Relax In The Air! Such super great people, that I’m sure, I’ll meet again.
Oh. And I actually had a high fever this evening we met. But I hide it quite well! Go watch.
Shame is an unspoken epidemic, the secret behind many forms of broken behavior. Brené Brown, whose earlier talk on vulnerability became a viral hit, explores what can happen when people confront their shame head-on. Her own humor, humanity and vulnerability shine through every word.
I too blogged about Brené Brown’s “The Power of Vulnerability“. I post inspiring TED Talks every once in a while. But I’ve never written this much to – or quoted that much from – a TED Talk on my blog before, as I did to the vulnerability talk.
And now she moved me again. Brené Brown truly has a talent for one-liners. Or simply saying it straight forward. Here are some awesome quotes from her new talk about shame:
“Vulnerability is the most accurate measurement of courage”.
“Vulnerability is the birth place of innovation, creativity, and change”.
“Shame: I am a mistake
Guilt: I made a mistake”.
“Shame grows with secrecy, silence, and judgement. What kills shame is empathy”
“We go into the arena when we are bulletproof and secure and perfect. But that’s not interesting. That’s not what we want to see. What is interesting is when you dare greatly”.
Okay, yes – all these aren’t exact quotes. They are my written words from what she said. But I love them.
Big thanks to my dear friend @sordahl for reminding me her new talk was out.
