Get turned on...

My name is Devin Shepherd and this is my blog--a mixture of things that others have made that inspire me, and content I have created that I hope will inspire you.

Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be?

Why should a relationship mean settling down? Wait out for someone who won’t let life escape you, who’ll challenge you and drive you toward your dreams. Someone spontaneous you can get lost in the world with. A relationship, with the right person, is a release not a restriction.

The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. The whole future lies in uncertainty. Live immediately.

What if Cannes Lions celebrates the worst, not the best of advertising?

The ad industry’s disconnect from consumers is epitomised by the festival, where we toast an industry that’s in love with technology and itself, not people

Once again, someone articulating better than I can what it is about the advertising industry that just plain sucks. #WastedPotential

There’s a lot of great new music dropping right now. But this is what I’m feeling at the moment.

If you're a beer enthusiast, you should definitely give this a watch. Mikkel Borg Bjergsø is basically the beer equivalent of Willy Wonka, so it shouldn't be surprising that this short documentary is pretty interesting.

Portland Maine is actually really awesome for entrepreneurs (i.e. any person who wants to do something cool).

Been jamming to this song recently. The video is charming, too.

I'm glad I found this on Image Conscious Studio's Blog. This video is both brutally honest and uplifting. It's also helpful to see these industry professionals discuss issues that I have just begun to grapple with myself.

Jerry Seinfeld is one of the only people who could get away with this I think. Although a scathing critique of advertising, he still manages to say that ads make people happy--except I don't think that most ads do that at all.
