One Possible Future for Movies: Projecting Them in 270 Degrees
-- Comments HereLeslie Finlay - The Atlantic: The story was nothing special: dapper secret agents, ribbed metal briefcases carrying confidential contents, double-crossing lovers with a penchant for the extravagant, motorcycle chases that defy physics.

How To Talk About Your Workplace Weakness On An Interview
-- Comments HereTheGrindstone: One of the most frustrating questions a potential employer can ask is what your workplace weaknesses are. It’s a tough question and a hard sell, because you don’t want to come off as arrogant, nor do you want to come off as incompetent. Unfortunately, that said, it’s one of the questions that interviewers value the most, so you may as well suck it up and learn to answer it in a way that won’t sabotage your shot at your dream job.

On Smaller Stage, Broadway Stars Show Appreciation for Stagehands

This article was very interesting to read because it made me think of times my ego has gotten in the way of my work. For example, when working on my midterm project, my partner continuously shot down my ideas and found a reason not to do any of them. After a while, out of frustration, I stopped offering my ideas because I was done being rejected. Thinking back on this now after reading this article I realized that my ego negatively affected this situation, and caused me to settle for something lesser than what could've been, had I not cut off my creativity. In this industry the word "ego" gets tossed around so much; after reading this article I realized that the person pointing the finger and calling someone an egotist, might have the bigger ego.
