This is an incredible retrospective on where the Internet has been - and where it could go if we're not careful. This is a MUST read for all technology professionals. I saw people taking pictures, but there's a nice set of gestures and conventions in place for that. You lift your camera or phone when you want to record, and people around you can see that. All in all, it works pretty smoothly. I realized how long it had been since I looked at a new technology with wonder, instead of an automatic feeling of dread. In a December letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was disclosed Tuesday, the search giant said that it could be serving ads and other content on “refrigerators, car dashboards, thermostats, glasses, and watches, to name just a few possibilities.” Having a bad day? Feeling sorry for yourself? Need some motivation? Watch this. If it doesn't give you chills and pick you back up, you should probably check your pulse... Loved this one especially: He who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right. The only thing it's missing is this: This is a great take on the 12 basic principles of animation - as first proposed by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston during the 1930s while at Walt Disney.

This video is history in the eyes of the men who made it. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates together in 2007 at D5. There's too much greatness to enumerate it all, but I loved this Jobs quote: People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you're doing and it's totally true. And the reason is because that it's so hard, that if you don't, any rational person would give up. Brilliant piece - a bit cynical, a lot facetious...and SO damn funny.
Lately, the mobile engineers at Facebook have really been trail blazing new patterns. Below is a great behind-the-curtain video from the iOS team at Facebook on the efforts that went into building Paper. It’s really fascinating to see just how out of the box they went to make a lot of the “magic” possible. Also worth note is that they will be releasing their Pop animation framework shortly. This framework integrates directly with the Origami framework they built for Quartz - providing an amazing tool for devs and designers to use when iteratively prototyping animations. |
