  • A Whole Lotta Nothing: Neil deGrasse Tyson, QFT
    "The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation."

    Obama knows basketball. Nice to see a more casual side of Obama.
  • 37signals: Give it five minutes
    Jason Fried on being open to new ideas: "So next time you hear something, or someone, talk about an idea, pitch an idea, or suggest an idea, give it five minutes. Think about it a little bit before pushing back, before saying it’s too hard or it’s too much work. Those things may be true, but there may be another truth in there too: It may be worth it."

  • Waxy.org: No Copyright Intended
    "Remix culture is the new Prohibition, with massive media companies as the lone voices calling for temperance. You can criminalize commonplace activities from law-abiding people, but eventually, something has to give."
  • Pinboard Blog: Don't Be A Free User
    "Like a service? Make them charge you or show you ads. If they won't do it, clone them and do it yourself. Soon you'll be the only game in town!" This is both absolutely true and heartbreaking.

  • CSO: How to disappear completely
    This article includes an interesting use of social media for identity obfuscation. "...we create bogus individuals around client names. One person could be a photographer, one person could be a chauffeur, or whatever. We develop about 15 to 20 web sites and create all these social media sites around you. Now if you are traveling somewhere and someone puts your name in, they are going to locate those 20 other people before they get to you, depending on how much information is known about you."

Games for a Non-Gamer

I'm not much of a gamer, but I have been enjoying The Incident by Neven Mrgan and Matt Comi on my iPhone. Here's what it looks like:

Nothing too complicated. There's falling stuff that you tilt the phone to avoid, and a great 8-bit soundtrack. Seeing all of the pixelated junk they designed is half the fun.

I don't have an XBox, but this atmospheric game called Limbo looks like another fun design experience. It's the first console game I've seen in a while that I'd like to play:

(I found this last trailer via the consistently excellent video site Devour. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Looks great on an iPad.)
