Let the Games Begin
“It’s better to lose with your own vision than win with someone else’s.”

Elements of Style? Discuss.
Which would you rather read:
Book A is about how to write.
Book B is about how Book A came to be written.
| Book A | Book B | |

(And, can you judge a book by its cover? Absolutely!)
The Elements of Style is a book I reread frequently. And not randomly either; I read it as if it were a novel. I haven’t read Stylized yet; but I will (eventually).

Changing Direction
“It started on a tablet first. I had this idea about having a glass display, a multitouch display you could type on. I asked our people about it. And six months later they came back with this amazing display. And I gave it to one of our really brilliant UI guys. He then got inertial scrolling working and some other things, and I thought, ‘My god, we can build a phone with this,’ and we put the tablet aside, and we went to work on the phone.”
from Steve Jobs at the D8 conference
