I’d gladly Run to the fucking hills, in any of these puppies.

Make sure to buy a pair, because next season these dudes will be too busy fucking super-models and drinking Chateauneuf du Pape to design shoes.

From the bottom of my heart: Well. Fucking. Done.

meganmcisaac: audrey hepburn photographed by richard avedon, 1954. “i always prefer to work in the studio. it isolates people from their environment. they become in a sense… symbolic of themselves. i often feel that people come to me to be photographed as they would go to a doctor or a fortune teller—to find out how they are. so theyre dependent on me. i have to engage them. otherwise theres nothing to photograph. the concentration has to come from me and involve them. sometimes the force of it grows so strong that sounds in the studio go unheard. time stops. we share a brief, intense intimacy. but its unearned. it has no past… no future. and when the sitting is over—when the picture is done—theres nothing left except the photograph… the photograph and a kind of embarrassment. they leave… and i dont know them. ive hardly heard what theyve said. if i meet them a week later in a room somewhere, i expect they wont recognize me. because i dont feel i was really there. at least the part of me that was… is now in the photograph. and the photographs have a reality for me that the people dont. its through the photographs that i know them. maybe its in the nature of being a photographer. im never really implicated. i dont have to have any real knowledge. its all a question of recognitions.”

Eric Schmidt on Steve Jobs - BusinessWeek

minimalmac:

Please allow me to paraphrase this whack job for you:

“I knew he was wrong, but he was right even on the things I knew he was wrong about that he kept proving otherwise and frak if I know how he did it but I sure was wrong about the things he was right about yet I know he was wrong and still can’t figure out exactly how because, you know, I have a Ph.D in this stuff. Geez, I miss that guy. Also, corn puffs!”

Seriously, I could have quoted any paragraph and it could pretty much be summarized just like that.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened

Marked

Brett Terpestra released an absolutely fantastic application called Marked recently, while basic, it is inexpensive and has just the right amount of functionality to be both quick and efficient.

If your primary writing tool is a computer and you prefer to work in Markdown then Marked is the perfect tool. Finally allowing you to take advantage of the wonderful Markdown and MultiMarkdown previewing present in many text editing applications on the Mac in other applications that don’t allow it out of the box.

Not only does Marked add a great previewer for those apps that don’t offer the capability out of the box it is even suitable for apps that already have one because it is so basic and clean. It is clear that Marked is by the same person who created the NVAlt fork of Notational Velocity. The same attention to detail and disregard for fiddling is present throughout. None of the features are in your face and there is a hotkey assigned to every functionality.

The nice thing about Marked is that it effortlessly fits into my workflow. Being able to start a text file in Notational Velocity, pop it open in TextEdit once it gets large and then drop that into Marked without ever having to open up a more complex or feature rich text editor is magic.

Compose your dress with humor. Slavish adherence to either fashion or company dress codes will earn you little respect. Punctuate your understated dress with some epigrammatic piece of self deprecating humor. You might try an extravagant piece of silk as a scarf, a waistcoat in buff linen or the jumper you have always craved in Hermes orange. So wear one. It’s better to mock yourself than have the world do it for you.
