Simplicity Sells

David Pogue says "Simplicity sells" This talk, given by New York Times columnist David Pogue, was way back in 2006. Now it's 2010 and "simplicity" is just as relevant as it was 4 years ago. David Pogue gave an entertaining and hilarious take on "simple" designs of softwares and provides encouraging examples that got it right. Sounds nerdy? Nope, it's actually funny and entertaining, as he sang a few hilarious songs, lampooning Microsoft to Apple.... continue reading at Journeyman Journeys

Facebook Places

I already hate Facebook Tag. Usually, if someone tag me, I just remove it myself.

Can't stand the constant update by others, and most of the time, it about selling a product.

Now Facebook has these Places (only in US now). Maybe its time to drop Facebook?

Real Life iPad wedding

A guy did proposed to his girlfriend using social media.

And the logical conclusion: A cartoon, using iPad for the wedding.

Then it happened in real life?

Katie and Aaron were recently married, and the officiant did the entire service from his iPad.

They read their vows from iPad, after having copied them to the device from paper and ink versions.

I don't know what to say.

World's largest artwork

Jim Denevan has created the World’s largest artwork and showcases his art skill on a lake in Siberia.

In pursuit of the impermanent. From the vanishing curl of a wave to sand briefly stilled between tides, nature's fleeting moments are his stock-in-trade. The frozen surface of Siberia's Lake Baikal presented a shifting, snow-blanketed canvas for Denevan's specific brand of art: massive geometrical patterns carved into the earth, ever vulnerable to the elements. 

These images document Denevan's quest to create history's largest work of art, while also illuminating the simple, arresting beauty of the natural world that he so keenly reveres.
