Ira Glass on getter better at what you do

Last night I had the pleasure of listening to a presentation by Michael Beirut sponsored by AIGA Jacksonville. During a brief Q&A time afterward, he referred to the video above by Ira Glass (part three of a four-part series – all of which are great).

I was interested in one of the comments in the comment thread about people either having “it” or not having “it.” I say, regardless of how much “it” you have, it will only get better with work – lots and lots of work.

What about you – got any thoughts on getting better? On the debate about “it”?

Haiti Earthquake Relief

Every bit helps. If you’re looking for good organization through whom to contribute to the disaster relief effort in Haiti, I recommend World Vision.

Aggregation question for the day

Do you think that the links posted by people (aka “human aggregators”) you follow on Twitter or Facebook are good enough to persuade you to quit using your RSS aggregator? Either way, why?
