The Plague
I can say I know the world inside out, as you may see -- that each of us has the plague within him; no one, no one on earth is free from it. And I know, too, that we must keep endless watch on ourselves lest in a careless moment we breathe in somebody's face and fasten the infection on him. What's natural is the…

Banksy, invention, and the six steps
Banksy does all that outdoor stencil art. He started work between 1990-1994, and switched to stencilling in 2000. That his style has become so imitated is a signal to me that what he started was something new, if not in the medium (stencilling isn't new, and nor is graffiti), but in the binding between his medium and…

Are Bananas Really as Bad for You as Cookies? [infographic]
Bananas may have more nutrients but they fill you up and give you the same sugar crash as a cookie. Some foods fill you up and others leave you feeling hungry. There’s a science to that: it’s called satiety. Three easy swaps to help you feel full throughout the day: Replace breakfast cereal with all-bran for a 30%…

I’m pleased to announce a $25,000 signing bonus for any Yahoo employee who joins Yammer in the next 60 days. yammer.com/jobs — David Sacks (@DavidSacks) March 15, 2012 It’s becoming more and more apparent just how jackasserific Yahoo’s Facebook patent lawsuit really is. At least now some (soon-to-be-former) employees…

Happiness is not a destination
Happiness is not a destination: Tony Chu, MFA candidate, turns around a Quora answer for first-time entrepreneurs that answers “what part of the process are people often completely blind to?” An idea is not a design, but it is an invitation to a journey. A design is not a prototype, but it is a plan for moving…

The discipline of making
The discipline of making: The difference between making and meeting: If you’re rushing to make a train, you have to be there before the last moment. Five seconds too late is too late. The cost of error is absolute. If you’re hurrying to meet a train, though, there’s a soft deadline. Five seconds is no big deal.…

Linguistic relativity
Linguistic relativity: How language affects economic behavior has been hotly discussed of late, primarily due to an unpublished paper from Yale economist Keith Chen on the same: Chen […] thinks that if your language has clear grammatical future tense marking […], then you and your fellow native speakers have a…

A good kind of hungry
A roast with carrots, celery and—boom—bacon One thing about a low-carb diet I haven’t seen discussed much is that it changes the feeling of hunger. Once your body switches over from burning carbs to burning fat as its primary fuel source and the attendant stabilization of blood sugar levels that brings, hunger starts…

Forbes Interview on Mobile First
A little while ago I had the pleasure of chatting with Anthony Kosner at Forbes about mobile product design. We discussed mobile advertising, focus, performance, content, and a lot more. You can read the whole thing over at Forbes or just enjoy the tasty tidbits I pulled out below. One thing I can tell you for sure…

Ralph McQuarrie
Much contributed to the success of Star Wars, but nothing cemented its iconography the way Ralph McQuarrie did. His initial paintings did what Lucas's confused script couldn't, and got the movie made. His imagery will forever be a part of our culture. Imagine; from this one guy sprang such icons as Darth Vader,…

“When you have to shoot, shoot!”
I hate myself. I try not to hate Lucas, but I sure do hate myself for once again being drawn into his egomaniacal web of not-quite-truths and self-congratulatory crap.So Lucas exclaimed in an interview a couple of days ago that really, the fan-brouhaha over the ‘Han shot first’ change to the special edition back in…

Trying to understand credit
I just visited the bank and had an impromptu tutorial in international trade -- good stuff. Recently they told me they'd lost a payment we were supposed to receive, and two weeks later it turns out they hadn't lost it at all. It was a mess, and I have to admit there was a bit of shouting in the meantime. The shouting…

This is a mind-bending TED talk from 2008 that I somehow missed. Memetics is the study of information that gets copied. Like DNA. Which all living organisms can thank. Or ideas in the form of words, pictures, behaviors. That is mostly the domain of humans… and what keeps us busy all day long. And, soon, like…

Matthew Panzarino’s interesting guess on what a secret iPad 3 feature might be. I also thought there might be more to the “And touch” part of the invitation, and this could be much cooler than vibrate-motor haptic feedback. ∞ Permalink

Philip K.

Liars and Outliers: The Big Idea
My big idea is a big question. Every cooperative system contains parasites. How do we ensure that society's parasites don't destroy society's systems? It's all about trust, really. Not the intimate trust we have in our close friends and relatives, but the more impersonal trust we have in the various people and…

Buy commodities, sell brands
Warren Buffet, in his latest annual letter to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway: 'Buy commodities, sell brands' has long been a formula for business success. It has produced enormous and sustained profits for Coca-Cola since 1886 and Wrigley since 1891. ... Buy commodities, sell brands. I like it.
