- An interview with Helmut Krone, the man behind the VW ads.

- Charlie Kaufman and Dan Harmon have teamed up to produce a stop-motion movie. They're funding it on kickstarter. I mean, WE are funding it on kickstarter.

- Ben Kay on HBO's consistent quality. (It's about not bending to trends, including viewership)

- "Try to be true to yourself and the feelings you have about a problem or brief, and try to capture that emotion and reaction in your work." Sell! Sell! selling the importance of emotion in making work.

- Drive out smarminess. An edict from the always astute Simon Billing.
