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.””

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.

An example of an entry for the National Geographic Photo Contest 2011. The whole selection is breathtaking. Love the first comment which nicely illustrates how the internet is blurring the line between amateur and professional: “I’ve been a professional photographer for 30 years and never even got close to taking anything like the quality of these images.” (thanks for the pointer dad!)

“The mock-gladiatorial theatrics of mixed martial arts may look tawdry and overblown, but the sport, perhaps even more than boxing, expresses a deep and authentic impulse to find meaning through the infliction and acceptance of pain.”

“The same changes that have disrupted the news industry will, inevitably, disrupt the book industry; Public Parts hints at what might come of the disruption. Books as community. Books as conversation. Books as ideas that evolve over time — ideas that shift and shape and inspire — and that, as such, have the potential of viral impact.”
