When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, the Kingsman's journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the United States. These two elite secret organizations must band together to defeat a common enemy.
This took forever to watch. I think I saw it in 20 minute increments over about 5 different days over the last 3 months. Vaguely entertaining action sequences, but otherwise not very redeeming.

📺 All Constraints are Beautiful by Charlie Owen | Beyond Tellerrand | Vimeo

We so often consider constraints to be a negative. We have become convinced that they stop us doing what we want and that, therefore, they prevent us from being our most creative.
But constraints are actually the most beautiful thing in the world. Constraints are what give us direction. Constraints are what give us focus. Constraints are what give us empathy.
In this talk Charlie will tell us how constraints are something that should be sought out and embraced, especially in the infinite chaos of the web.
Charlie Owen is a modern day superhero! Holy shit, what a moving talk.
