In the late 80’s/early 90’s I couldn’t get enough of Nike basketball shoes.

Confession: I used to Windex the bottom of my clear soled Air Jordan’s (v5). Hey, I was 10.

(btw, here is the version history of Air Jordan’s: http://www.footlocker.com/promotion/promoId:5002565/history-air-jordan/)

“…the Internet today feels like the fast food revolution in the 50’s, when everyone was suddenly so amazed they could get food so fast and so cheap that they gorged themselves on it, like we gorge ourselves today on technology.”

From back of post card:

During the Cold War, Western spies operating in the East were greatly outnumbered by Soviet and Stasi agents. They survived by following the Moscow Rules.

“Don’t take shortcuts, it takes too long.”

- I’m not sure where I first heard this, but I’ve heard it repeated from various sources for the past week. Seems like the universe is trying to tell me something. (via edwardshepard)

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:51:56 -0400

“When one creates, they are putting themselves into a relationship with the thing they are producing. Some days are as effortless as a joyride, others are a skirmish. The longer the relationship continues, the more joy and animosity, love and hate, the connection accumulates. Time makes the relationship more complex and life-like.”

It’s interesting how people often jump to the conclusion that one service is copying another, when the services have similar goals, business models, and user needs.

As the Head of Design for Rdio says, “Sometimes patterns emerge.”

“Most of our competitors are interested in doing something different, or want to appear new — I think those are completely the wrong goals. A product has to be genuinely better. This requires real discipline, and that’s what drives us — a sincere, genuine appetite to do something that is better.”

texturism:

one of life’s most thrilling experiences is to build your own leaky rocket ship, then to ride it and see if it flies. if i’ve learned anything this past year while writing my book, it is that.
