Chrome/Firefox: Ever run into a video that's blocked because you aren't in a supported region? It's annoying, but ProxMate is a simple extension for Chrome and Firefox that unblocks region-specific content from YouTube, Hulu, and Grooveshark. ProxMate will route your traffic through a supported proxy server regardless of what country you're in. Currently it only works with the above mentioned services, but ProxMate also lets you set up your own proxy servers to automatically get around any country-specific blocks you might run into. The nice thing about ProxMate is that you can quickly enable or disable it straight from the toolbar so it doesn't slow down load times when it isn't needed.

Stanford's Kelley Discusses `Design Thinking': Video
June 13 (Bloomberg) -- David Kelley, founder of the Stanford Institute of Design, discusses his methods for teaching design and innovation. Bloomberg's Sheila Dharmarajan reports on Kelley's philosophy of so-called design thinking. This report aired on Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg West" on May 27.In TV, as nowhere else, the writer is king—none more so than those emperors of the air that control every aspect of an ambitious, ongoing cable drama. The show-runner is this era's version of the Creative Titan, and few have done more with the power than the three GQ recently convened in the Olympian heights of a room at the Soho House in West Hollywood, to talk deeply about their craft. The men speak in voices as different as their shows: Matthew Weiner, the man behind Mad Men , is a high-speed stream of sparkling copy; Vince Gilligan, who created Breaking Bad , has the straightforward, gracious drawl of a geeky southern gentleman; and David Milch—who wrote Deadwood , the misbegotten John from Cincinnati , and Luck , which met an equally early end this spring after the deaths of three equine cast members—has the baroque gnomic gravity of an archdruid. But each of these giants expresses, in his distinct way, just how ambitious and deep the new breed of TV drama has grown.

Some 180 high-income Chinese recently spent USD 88,000 each on a tour to the luxurious Ritz-Carlton Hotel Seoul, which is home to the Possom Prestige anti-aging clinic.

The Creative Class Meets New Urbanism | Bacon's Rebellion
by James A. Bacon Richard Florida, the author of the “Rise of the Creative Class,” has long remarked upon the creative class’ penchant for living in certain cities rather than others. He has devoted much of his energy over the past 10 years to illuminating the importance of a community’s tolerance for cultural diversity and its openness to newcomers as a trait valued by the creative class. But there has always been as sub-theme in his writing.

Ma Jun | The 100 Most Creative People in Business in 2012
"Beijing was such a different city," says Ma Jun, China's preeminent environmental watchdog, remembering the capital as it was during his childhood. "There were so few cars, I could walk in the middle of the road. In the summer, the streetlamps attracted swirling bugs. I loved those bugs: crickets, praying mantis, all kinds of beetles."Recently, I was asked three separate questions by change practitioners (in three different settings) that I feel are linked. I’m sure many of you periodically address similar issues, so I thought it would be interesting to compare notes. As you’ll see, I didn’t go into lengthy responses, because none of the situations I was in called for that. Please consider adding to or offering alternatives on how I responded as a way of sharing your own experiences when answering questions of this nature. First Question: For over a year, I’ve been serving as the designated change expert on an implementation project for my company.
