#Ferguson
A powerful reminder of how important the internet is. Without it, I don’t think Michael Brown’s murder would have been much more than a byline in local media outlets.

Interesting to think about the role of design in a problem space like this.
Design and Research
Old gold from Paul Graham on the relationship between design and research

I’m not really into electronic music, but I’m into this. It’s an EP from one of the prototypers on the Android team in Seattle. Perfect work music.

Ethan Marcotte’s treasure trove of animated gifs. Invaluable for efficient work communication.

I’m a big Christopher Nolan fan and really hoping this is as awesome as it looks.
