Grown-ups can play too, especially Jeff Greenspan

I discovered the artists, Jeff Greenspan, today via the blog, It's Nice That.  He previously was the Chief Creative Officer for Buzzfeed and now freelances his witty work.

I'm absolutely loving his playful style today.  There's no reason adults need to be so serious.

I mean, even Plato believed that play was important:

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” 

And, Ralph Waldo Emerson went as for as calling it a talent:

"It is a happy talent to know how to play" 

So, following in these great mens' footprints, I've started giving my presentations in "meme" form and have been sending out a lot of dancing bear GIFs to accompany my process emails.  I'll report back if their wisdom is doing justice in the business arena.

Maybe I'll get some inspiration from Jeff's work below...

An excellent witticism

"Hipster Traps"

Tourist lanes in NYC

"Letter Bombing"

"Oil Bombing", the precursor to "Photo Bombing"

Foodie Recommendation: "Lucky Peach"

Although cooking blogs are generally amazing (Smitten Kitchen is my personal favorite), there's a (relatively) new cooking magazine, Lucky Peach, by Momofuko chef, David Chang, which is definitely worth buying in analog form.

Now, to be honest, I'm more the beneficiary of Lucky Peach creations, along with the occasional contributor as suy chef, taster and cleaner.  Alan is the head chef in our apartment, which is excellent for me since my natural state of cooking involves assembling store-bought hummus, cheese, crackers and some veggies on a plate, accompanying it with a glass of red wine and then proceeding to eat said "cooking" either on the couch or *sometimes* in bed (yes, I just admitted that). 

For brunch with some friends this weekend, Alan made these Vietnamese omelettes from the magazine, which were absolutely fantastic.   

Now, I'm just waiting for the next volume to come out...
