Fascinating to see the reaction to Steve Jobs’ death. Mainstream coverage predictably hagiographical, but there’s a lot of nuance elsewhere. I’ve appreciated these bits by Joel Pitt<\/a>, Patrick Nielsen Hayden<\/a>, and Russell Brown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The FedEx logo, and the arrow hidden inside it.<\/a> Very interesting about the process of logo design.<\/p>\n

Two contributions from D3vo that he describes as very worthwhile (I haven’t had a chance to look at either of them yet):
\n1. Vanity Fair article on california, the recession, US politics etc<\/a>
\n2. TED talk – Niall Ferguson, the 6 killer apps of prosperity<\/a><\/p>\n

Another great series of essays by Andrew Rilstone, this time analyzing contemporary (UK) political talk through the lens of bad puns. Part one is here; the rest follow along<\/a>. Very relevant here in NZ with the electoral cycle rolling closer.<\/p>\n

Presume you’ve already seen that vid of the kid experiencing<\/a> the single greatest plot twist in movie history? (Yep this counts as this week’s Star Wars content.)<\/p>\n

17-second vid: Arrested Development cast all do chicken dance<\/a> after announcing return of show.<\/p>\n

Stop-motion ninja fight. Perfectly done.
