Reading through Behance's twitter posts, I stumbled across this website:

http://the99percent.com/

It's a website that focuses on design in business, and is based on the saying "Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration" said by Edison.

I cannot believe how helpful the tips section is, and hoping that I can start being more productive from taking up the advice. The article about perfectionism is probably the biggest eye opener. While I do believe in deadlines and always meet them when set infront of me, I work myself silly trying to clean up everything and lose focus on the big picture sometimes.

Long story short, a good website!

Extreme Origami

With my recent website theme change to origami and plants, I did some research into some interesting origami figures to use for my background, and I stumbled upon this beast. "Surely, this could not be a single sheet of paper!" I thought to myself, but sure enough it is. Taking 40 hours or so over several months, this pieces was done by Satoshi Kamiya.
