Great Quote on Complexity

 "Sometime in the past decade...we stopped analyzing emergence and started creating it. We began building self-organizing systems into our software applications, our video games, our art, our music. We built emergent systems to recommend new books, recognize our voices, or find mates."

-Steven Johnson in his book, Emergence

Video for Tax Foundation: Falling Behind by Standing Still

A while ago we were lucky to do a video for the Tax Foundation on the issue of Tax Deferral (seen here.)   We loved the project and had hoped to revisit it someday.  

We're happy to say that earlier this week, Tax Foundation released the follow-
up video.  Done in a similar style, the video examines the issue of the
Corporate Tax Rate.  

Complex issue.  Simple video.

A big thanks to Tax Foundation for the chance to work on this project.

Behind the scenes at Radiolab

I'm a big fan of the show/podcast Radiolab and just found out that its creator, Jad Abumrad is a MacArthur grant recipient. This interview with him is a great look at the hard work he puts in to create each episode.

Two Videos About Underground Cuban Music Scenes

First, the electronic music scene.  Although, I hear the festival documented here has been taken over by the state. (Thanks Carlos!)


And the punk scene (NSFW language):
