Great Read
Fantastic essay by Steven Johnson on the value of keeping text/information linkable: Ecologists talk about the “productivity” of an ecosystem, which is a measure of how effectively the ecosystem converts the energy and nutrients coming into the system into biological growth. A productive ecosystem, like a rainforest, sustains more life per unit of energy than [...]
Dubberly Design Office Posters
Checking out the Dubberly Design Office this morning I noticed a few infographics on their site that looked interesting. This one shows the Creative Process. I’m not going to quibble about the little things, but overall it’s nice to think about how interrelated everything is that we try to artificially break into stages.

A Matter of Trust
Reading Design Mind and came across this: According to the Chicago Booth/Kellogg School Financial Trust Index from April 8, trust in business has reached unprecedented lows, with only 10% of Americans now saying they trust large corporations. My question is: Are we supposed to? Ultimately the article goes on to explain that consumers’ trust of [...]
Well Articulated and On-Point
I’m reading a fine line, how design strategies are shaping the future of business, by Hartmut Esslinger. The following quote struck me: Although few corporations mirror the smooth operations spelled out in their press releases, the internal discord that results from a lack of shared vision at the leadership level can destroy a company’s coordinated [...]

Q: Are there ways we could design ubiquitous systems that might support personal autonomy? A: …When given some kind of real-time overview of all [...]
Live | Work: Service Thinking
I stumbled across live|work recently and have enjoyed reading their articles and perspectives on Service Design. Particularly this passage: when production takes place in one place far from where the product is consumed the relationship between producer and consumer becomes impersonal, disconnected and ultimately unsustainable. There’s an awful lot being written about our nation’s food [...]
Sputnik Observatory
I stumbled across these videos the other day. Between this and TED I can see myself devoting even more of my day to ideation/stimulative thinking.
Inspirational Commencement Speech
(via Design Thinking) Paul Hawken: But let’s begin with the startling part. Hey, Class of 2009: you are going to have to figure out what it means to be a human being on earth at a time when every living system is declining, and the rate of decline is accelerating. Kind of a mind-boggling situation [...]
Steven Johnson Killing It Some More
Steven Johnson is my favorite writer. Interface Culture was a seminal read for me in college, as was Emergence. When The Ghost Map came out, hyper-local content was the buss term du jour. Johnson spring-boarded from writing a book about hyper-local information and organization to creating a digital product with it as it’s thesis. A [...]
