Designer’s Debate Club: Is the phrase “Do What You Love” ruining design?
Is The popular refrain “Do What You Love” ruining design?
“Do what you love” — it feeds the soul but will it pay the bills? As this dreamer’s mandate has spread from an idealized dream to the driving force in work/life decisions, we are left to wonder — is it ultimately ignorant of life’s harsh realities: that doing what you love and making what you want requires a lot of unlovely doing. Is this popular refrain a privileged ex-post-facto for the already successful? Is it a comforting hymn we all sing as we walk away from that well-paying job into the dark unknown? Or are we really on the verge of a brave new world where doing what you love is the fastest way to getting what you want out of life?

Top 100 Design & Inspiration Blogs: Go Media & Friends Favorites
Google Reader is retiring, but we here at Go Media believe RSS is far from dead. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of 100 of our favorite blogs to follow, however it is you may choose to do so. And even better, we had a little help from our friends.
Introducing Feedly Cloud + 5 Tips and Tricks
The countdown has begun. Google is set to drop its RSS aggregator, Google Reader, on July 1, 2013. Announcing to its devoted following two reasons for its disbanding, one being a decline in usage and two their need to pour energy into other products, Google offers Google Takeout for those needing to download a copy of their data stored from Reader.
For those married to RSS, there is life beyond Reader.
Perspective, Hustle and Passion with Kern and Burn
We’re big fans of Jessica Karle Heltzel and Tim Hoover here at Go Media. Designers, writers and publishers, we are super honored to have Jess and Tim on our list of WMC 2013 Speakers this year.
We recently had a chance to chat with Jess and Tim about their recent success with Kern and Burn, a recently released online and print publication that curates discussions, interviews, and essays about design entrepreneurship.
Kern and Burn: Conversations With Design Entrepreneurs is a beautiful two-color book that features candid conversations with 30 leading designers who have founded startups, channeled personal passions into self-made careers and taken risks to do what they love. In this book they share their failures, successes, and perspectives. Kern and Burn’s hope is that you, the reader, can learn from them — not to follow in their footsteps, but to chart your own course in parallel, one that allows you to thrive, add value to the world and love what you do. Dedicating the book to “those who kern, those who burn and those who embrace the risk of failure daily,” their book is available online now on KernandBurn.com.
