Seth’s Blog: Little scraps

07 Apr

Always enjoyed reading Seth Godin – but only recently been reading his blog – some gems emerged – needless to say. This one in particular tickled my fancy – might post some others later ….

In Little scraps .. he writes :

Too whom it may concern:

That’s the way the letter of reference started off. I confess, I didn’t make it to the second sentence.

And that store with the really loud electronica music? I left.

But I still remember that kid I met a year ago. I can’t tell you what grade he was in, but the energy in his face and his enthusiasm was enough to get my full attention.

The facts:
Too many choices.
Too little time.

The response:

Quick decisions based on the smallest scraps of data.

It’s not fair but it’s true. Your blog, your outfit, the typeface you choose, the tone of your voice, the expression on your face, the location of your office, the way you rank on a Google search, the look of your Facebook page…

We all jump to conclusions and we do it every day.

Where do you want me to jump?

Daring Fireball: Firefox 3 vs. Safari 3

07 Apr

Firefox 3 vs. Safari 3 is a neat little piece in the support of Safari over Firefox. That aside – I particuarly like the quote from ‘the man’.

“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
