Steve Jobs: Thoughts on Flash

webkitbits:

Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.

God Yes.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” — President Calvin Coolidge

“I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.” — Saul Bass (via davidkaneda) (via marco)

“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.” — Daniel Burnham, Chicago architect, designer of the Columbian Exposition, and co-author of the 1909 Plan of Chicago. (1864-1912)

Pie are Squared

designaday:

I was inspired this week by my daughter’s creativity. My wife was planning on baking some pies to give as gifts to a few friends and was buying aluminum pie pans. Felicity saw some Christmas tree-shaped cake pans and suggesting making the pies in them. My wife’s immediate reaction was, “No, pies have to be round.” But, she checked herself and thought, “Well, I guess that could work.” She ended up buying a bunch of the tree-shaped pans, and tonight she baked the first pecan pie. It turned out beautifully. She even got some dried cranberries to decorate the tree with, and a starfruit for the top.

Just because every pie you have ever eaten has been round, don’t assume that every pie has to be round. Question everything, and always keep your mind open to new ideas.

“Americans have succumbed to rampant consumerism. Go back to a home built before we had to have everything, for instance, and check out the size of the closets. Our house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for example, was built in 1890. It has no closets whatsoever. Houses in the 1940s had closets barely big enough to stand in. The closet of the 1970s was a bit larger, perhaps deep enough for a fondue pot, a box of eight-track tapes, and a few disco dresses. But the closet of today is a different breed. “Walk-in closet” means that you can literally walk in for quite a distance. And no matter how deep these closets are, Americans have found ways to fill them right up to the closet door.” — Predictably Irrational (via marco)
