Hi, I'm Matthias. I love music, nonsense and people that don't take life seriously. I enjoy tinkering with web stuff and craft interfaces with passion. This tank is full of random things I stumble across and enjoy. Stay hungry, stay foolish - never settle.

Fifty People, One Question: New Orleans by Benjamin Reece (via Ryan A Graves). The question was “What would you wish to happen by the end of the day?”
A good reminder to ask yourself these kind of questions from time to time.

Rule #1: There are no rules.
Rule#2: Don’t let the fuckers get ya.
Rule #3: The production is there to serve the film.
Rule #4: Filmmaking is a collaborative process.
Rule #5: Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”

tick talk is a clock that tells time. Given, it isn’t an extraordinarily useful clock. Instead, it’s how a person might tell time if s/he were asked to sit on a shelf…
