The Ropes at Disney

“If you unwittingly slip off the beam, it will give you painless nudge in the right direction. Please read it carefully.”

In 1943, Walt Disney Productions’ personnel department set out to eliminate confusion for the company’s workforce with the publication of an employee handbook titled The Ropes at Disney. It was an effort to reconcile the need for organizational order with Disney’s effort to craft an image of an informal, irreverent, fun employer who seeks to “maintain a friendly relationship between Company and employee” (but, apparently, deems only the former worthy of capitalization).

Focused

Sometime in early November, Florida photographer Chip Litherland will load five 35mm cameras with color film, carefully pack them into shipping cases, and mail them to five different photographers around the globe. Each photographer who receives a camera will be challenged to shoot just one picture before they have to ship the camera on to someone else.

Assuming they aren’t lost in the mail or ruined by curious customs agents, the cameras will eventually pass through the hands of 200 photographers on a round-the-world journey.Source

For F1 fanatics like me, this is an amazing resource. For non F1 fanatics, this might give you an idea of the technology, complexity and details that goes into designing a F1 car.

Call Your Girlfriend

Robyns music video for ‘Call Your Girlfriend‘ is awesome. It’s one long unbroken tracking shot of where she dances and sings.

This video below is the same song, but completely different take on it. But, never the less, it’s also awesome.

Charlie Chaplin final speech in The Great Dictator

Rather surprised (and a bit embarassed)… I wasn’t aware that Charlie Chaplin made any talking pictures.

The Great Dictator was released in 1940. It was Charlie Chaplin’s first talking picture as well as his most commercially successful film.
