The Sketchbook of Susan Kare, the Artist Who Gave Computing a Human Face

Interesting ‘visual’ read on the history of Apple computing symbols. Didn’t know that the command key symbol is a stylized castle seen from above.

Lewis is actually speaking here of a central finding in cognitive psychology. In making judgments, people tend to use the “availability heuristic.
Michael Lewis on the King of Human Error | Business | Vanity Fair - The key to Beane’s success as documented in Moneyball. Big lesson in here for all of us: facts, facts and facts.

A very interesting 15’ podcast I found on the HBR network which features an interview with Carol Dweck, psychology professor at Stanford. She talks about a growth mindset, a theme I have been submerging myself in over the last two months. Highly recommended if your interested in personal growth, for yourself and for the people around you, either in a business or family setting.

Watched the documentary The Two Escobars about a week ago. It’s really impressive. The story of a country - Colombia - told through the sad history of a gifted, dedicated and honest soccer player. Thanks for the link, Bo.
