Creative Obsession
As someone who spent most of yesterday daydreaming how I can make a lamp that says “Read” on it for my living room–and then plotting out with my husband the exact font I would use for the word “Read” and how I could make a grid in Gimp to exactly reproduce the word on the lamp–I naturally love MythBusters Co-Host Adam Savage’s speech on obsession. In it, he talks about his quest to reproduce a dodo bird skeleton and then the statue from the movie The Maltese Falcon. Although I don’t have his patience or detail-mindedness, I am totally picking up what Savage is putting down here. (Thanks Justin for the link.)
