POPS80+ Must-Read Design Blogs to Enhance your Creativity and your Career I’ve categorized each of the blogs into one of ten main categories: All-in-One, Inspiration, Tutorials, Web Development/Code, Freelance, Logos & Typography, Advice & Discussion, Freebies & Giveaways, Blogging, and Micro-Blogs/Links. That does not mean that the blog doesn’t offer anything else. It just means that the blog has a main focus. Creative Opera, for example, really focuses on giving advice to new designers or design students. But, we offer many other things as well — and have plans to expand greatly in the upcoming months. I’m not trying to pigeonhole anyone, I just want to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. Hopefully you’ll be able to find a few blogs here that will be helpful to you in your design career. As an added bonus, I’ve chosen one of my favorite posts from each to share with you. Enjoy!

POPSA Changing Worldview This adequate epistemology will be, above all else, humble. It will recognize that science deals with models and metaphors representing certain aspects of experienced reality, and that any model or metaphor may be permissible if it is useful in helping to order knowledge, even though it may seem to conflict with another model which is also useful. (The classic example is the history of wave and particle models in physics.) This includes, specifically, the metaphor of consciousness. The ontological stance of the universe as holarchy appears to have great promise as the basis for an extended science in which consciousness-related phenomena are no longer anomalies, but keys to a deeper understanding; a science that transcends and includes the science we have. The implications of research on consciousness go even further. They suggest interconnection at a level that has yet to be fully recognized by Western science.

POPSDecorative Garden Lighting When visiting a public garden after dark, one notices that the garden has some sort of a certain tone or ‘look’. This tone is created by the gardener by making use of various types of lightings. One is easily able to replicate such a feeling in one’s own garden by using various lighting effects. One of the best ways to achieve such decorative garden lighting is by using solar powered lights within one’s garden. The important thing to remember is these solar lights help add to the creativity of a garden, however, one should not over do it as even the prettiest gardens can be made to look ugly with large lights directly shining down on them. The wide variety and range of solar garden lights at Blinking Sun give you a million and one options for giving your garden a make over without the hard work. Solar lights to suit all tastes and fit all locations can be found at Blinking Sun.

POPSWaht is Mind Mapping? bear with me: once you break the ingrained habit of linear note taking, you won’t look back. Benefits and Uses I think I already gave away the benefits of mind mapping and why mind maps work. Basically, mind mapping avoids dull, linear thinking, jogging your creativity and making note taking fun again. But what can we use mind maps for? * Note taking * Brainstorming (individually or in groups) * Problem solving * Studying and memorization * Planning * Researching and consolidating information from multiple sources * Presenting information * Gaining insight on complex subjects * Jogging your creativity It is hard to make justice to the number of uses mind maps can have – the truth is that they can help clarify your thinking in pretty much anything, in many different contexts: personal, family, educational or business. Planning you day or planning your life, summarizing a book, launching a project, planning and creating presentatio

POPSForty-Eight Years Of Indoctrination "Probably the last thing I ever expected to hear my daughter say was "I'm a lesbian." Marcie is tall, slim, very feminine-looking, with long, wavy blond hair. Makeup and clothes are important to her; she's had boyfriends since the day she was in third grade when she came home and announced that she was in love. She is anything but what I thought of as a "dyke." They had a right to their own lifestyle--just don't make me a witness to it. Maybe they weren't all "weirdos"--but just keep them out of my face. After a lifetime of learning that homosexuality was "perverted," "weird," "unnatural," "sick," against all that God or anyone else prescribed, was I too set in my beliefs, too brainwashed to ever--honestly, sincerely, to the core of my being--accept the concept? At 48 years of age, I was about to find out."

POPSThe Blue Man Group - Favourites Discovered these on youtube ages ago - just felt like re-looking at their ingenuity, creativity, humour and pure entertainment value. It must be utterly awesome to see them perform live. There is also a youtube video where they are interviewed and speak about the concept behind the group which is also quite fascinating.
