➯ The Freedom & Responsibility Culture at Netflix

The slides embedded on the Netflix Jobs page make for some fascinating reading. There’s a lot there that stands out, but Netflix’s policy for expensing, entertainment, gifts and travel from slide 71 is really great:

Act in Netflix’s best interests.

Those five words are literally the entire policy. I find it very uplifting that they actually treat their employees like adults.

➯ "My Eyes" from Dr. Horrible: NES Style

A Nintendo-style arrangement of “My Eyes” from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. This is one of 13 total tracks I’ve done in this style that will be part of a Flash animation I’m putting together to re-create the entire movie in 8-bit style.

Excellently done. Don’t miss “Everything You Ever”.

I can’t wait for the animation.
