Creativity Vitamins - A Daily Dose of Florida

It's summer (cough) in Boise (cough, cough).
The West is on fire and I'm inside till the smoke clears.

Luckily I'm getting my daily dose of creativity vitamins via a new blog by Richard Florida at www.creativeclass.org.

Through research and laser observations, Florida established the creative community as a sighnificant economic force, it's own "class," in his book The Rise of the Creative Class.
His subsequent book,
the Flight of the Creative Class, was a sober look at what America can and is losing.

The blog notes Richard is busy at work on his next book, due out in 2007. The book will explain how where you choose to live is the most important decision of your life. Cool.

In the meantime Richard has been posting every weekday and sharing plenty of links and articles and research reports from all over the globe on all things creative.
Everday is a new treat. I'm totally enjoying the blog Richard and his team created and encourage everyone to check it out.

Finally, something that got me off Gawker!
