Get Noticed: How to master the process of getting noticed
By Marcus Taylor and Rob Lawrence
PROS:
CONS:
SUMMARY: A good guide to networking by getting noticed – that helps make it into a system and helps you explore your goals and options.
If you make films or any media, if you're interested in film culture beyond the usual geekonomic US-Japan-Bollywood-UK group, then you need to see the movie "Nollywood Babylon." It's right here at Neftlix and you can read a summary here at IMDB.
If you're still wondering why I'm saying this, as opposed to following my every word unthinkingly, let me sum up the film.
This is a look at the Nigerian film industry, an industry that differs so vastly from ones in other countries (yet is huge), and is such a different look at filmmaking, it's incredibly informative. It will make you think about media, culture, and technology – if you have an interest in film culture in Africa, that's a plus, but that's just one thing you'll learn about.
This is probably one of the strangest book reviews I've done.
"Just Enough: Lessons in Living Green From Traditional Japan" By Azby Brown
ISBN-10: 4770030746
ISBN-13: 978-4770030740
This is a strange book to review, because I'm not really reviewing it as a progeeky career book. I'm reviewing it as an example of a book that is a product of a very geeky mind and passionate interest. It may not be a book you want to read – but it's an example of a book you may want to write.
