You suck! Now what? The psychology of handling criticism
Crew Blog: Nobody likes being told that they suck at anything. But no matter how you dress it up, that’s what most of us hear when we receive criticism.
Not all of us deal with criticism the same way.
Some people are great at taking criticism and using it to improve their work while others may feel completely crushed by even the most minimal critical feedback. For me, receiving any kind of public criticism is likely to result in a lot of sweating and blushing (not the most ladylike response, I know).
So Why Do People Go to Live Entertainment Anyway? [Infographic]
Selling Out: Earlier today Jim talked about one of the barriers to attending a live event: being (or at least feeling) busy. There are certainly other barriers as well, but also plenty of reasons why people do make the effort for live entertainment.

Safety Utility Knives
ToolGuyd: Earlier today, Ben posted about Starrett’s Hidden Edge utility knife. Starrett’s Hidden Edge knife is a different take on safety knives than I’ve seen, and from what I can tell, it looks to be more practical to use, despite its larger size.
But if you’re looking for a safety utility knife in a standard form factor, there are many numerous models to choose from.
The Sacred, Profane and 'Charlie Hebdo': Why We Must Protect Art’s Ability to Shock
Mic: In 1999, artist Chris Ofili put on display in New York City a painting he made depicting the Virgin Mary as part of an exhibition called Sensation. The work, "The Holy Virgin Mary," is a riot of tropical color that plays toward none of the usual cliches of Western Christian imagery. Mary's skin is dark and her lips wide and red. Her robe is open to bare one breast, which is represented by a piece of dried elephant dung that Ofili had appropriated. Looking closer, it's apparent that the image itself is made up of collaged pornography.
