As opposed to the common belief that creativity is a talent, I think creativity is a skill. And the more you practice it, the more creative you are.

A delightful way to teach kids about computers
the way we build computers

Why we need net neutrality
Vimeo has realized this video and a long blog post on this sensitive topic…
Join the fight for a free, open, weirdo internet: battleforthenet.com
The FCC is planning to repeal the strong net neutrality rules that we fought so hard to get in 2015. Why do we care? Vimeo is the home to so many makers, watchers, and all-around internet video lovers. Net neutrality makes sure there is room for creativity and equal access for any internet user. File comments with the FCC and spread the word to keep our internet free, open, and wondrously creative. #netneutrality
