Madeline 365: A Year in the Life
Every now and again I see something online that’s awesomely worthy of a repost. This is What Madeline Did has had hundreds of thousands of views and is a look at a year in her life in Los Angeles — inspiring, introspective, clever, and kind of poetic. The song in the video is All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem.

Pinot Noir Vines at Blue Mountain Winery
Blue Mountain Winery makes one of the Okanagan’s most cult revered Pinot Noir wines. A mix of old world French style and Okanagan Valley sunshine, the grapes that produce this iconic wine all stem from the earth on the property at Blue Mountain Winery in Okanagan Falls, BC.
For a look at how Pinot is grown here and for a little insight into the complexities of the vines and the winemaking process, Blue Mountain’s founder and winemaker Ian Mavety takes us on a little spring time tour of their vineyard.
Moving from Creative Services to Creating for Yourself
Jim Coudal gives a creative talk entitled “What Are You Afraid Of?” on the merits of moving from client based creative services to creating and selling products for yourself.

As Jim puts it, “if you can’t feed your team with two large pizzas, your team is too big.”
