Unbelievable. I only just found out that there is a Kickstarter project to fund an HD restoration of Manos: The Hands of Fate — one of the worst films of all time, and subject of a classic Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. This clip shows some of the early results.

Hey, look! I’m in one of Ren Bostelaar’s daily photos. If you haven’t checked out his 300 project, it’s well worth your time.
He’s always been a great photographer, but I think this project has forced him to become and even more interesting and creative photographer.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
New week, new episode of North America’s favourite podcast about shame, doubt, and regret. ;)
This is as close as you’ll get to New Year’s resolutions from us: Eric talks about how he came to write a self-critical personal manifesto for 2012, and Sean offers his theory of a “threshold of distasteful actions” as one of the roots of procrastination.
Next week, we dig into Eric’s manifesto.
We mention:
- Sean’s New Year’s Eve exercise for recognizing your accomplishments
- Episode 42, with Jon Crowley
- Episode 38: Valuing What You Do
- the Inbox Zero method

You have great ideas, but the only way you can feel ok about not realizing them is when the only hurdle is yourself.
