So much can be communicated without ever speaking a word. Nuno Rocha‘s 3×3, an award winning short film, introduces us to a janitor and security guard who both have a passion for basketball. As the story unfolds, it is hard not to fall in love with the personalities of these two characters.

Each day we get up, eat breakfast, and prepare ourselves for the day ahead. Outside, the world is a symphony of sound as we speak and listen, move things around, and ride or drive to far off destinations. Our life experience is made up of interactions with others, consumption of goods and services, and completion of personal and employment-based tasks.
The thoughtful design of communications, products, processes, and standards enables us to move through a busy day with less frustration, effort, and adaptation. The things we do and the things we use are better because of feedback.
Vision, inspiration, creativity–all of these are important for invention, innovation, and initiating change. However, big ideas fail when deemed impractical or unusable by our peers.
Want to be successful in life and work? Share, listen, think about what you hear, and make thoughtful adjustments to your efforts.
If you use feedback effectively, you will gain support for your idea, be alerted of potential problems early, and ultimately reach higher levels of success.
Jennifer Van Grove, writing for Mashable, gave readers the the heads up that YouTube has included a useful new privacy setting for user uploaded videos: you can flag a video as “unlisted” — meaning, if you have a link to the video, you can view it; but, the video will not show up in public searches. This is a wonderful enhancement to the “private” video setting which limited the total number of unique viewers able to see the video. In addition, the “private” setting required that viewers login to YouTube in order to see the video.
It is nice to see a large company adding options that enhances a user’s privacy options.
