Firstly, I subscribe to Fast Company’s First Impression e-newsletter. I happen to think Fast Company is the premiere business magazine out there–it’s smart, it’s interesting, and it never stands still.
So I was surprised when I saw that today’s newsletter linked to an article entitled Why We Buy from 1999. But it was about Apple, and, to me, all things Apple are just plain sexy.
In a nutshell, it’s a brief treatise on the the design of the original iMac. What it reminds me, though, is that design matters. Little things, like an organic, pulsating on/off light, affect people and how they view your product, your company.
I’m going to pay a little more attention to the little things from now on.

Adobe’s Spry framework for Ajax is a JavaScript library specifically geared toward allowing web designers the ability to incorporate XML data into their HTML docs using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The framework is in beta, and a prerelease is available at the link above. I’m off to try it out now. Keep posted for an update.

Growing up, I loved the Wizard of Oz. I watched it every time it was on. I loved when it changed from black and white to color, I loved when the witch melted, I loved the Scarecrow! As I grew older, I discovered Pink Floyd in 9th grade art class. The teacher, imaginative hippy that he was, hung a craft paper maze from the ceiling and we had to find our way out–in the dark–while listening to Dark Side of the Moon.
I had heard about the mashup as a young adult, but never had the opportunity to see it. Thanks to Google Video, we can all see it. Enjoy. I will.
