- Phones That Touch Us (TEDxBerlin) -- excellent short (<5m) talk about ways that mobile phones can be designed to convey information in new ways. (via RussB on Twitter)
- Code City -- an integrated environment for software analysis, in which software systems are visualized as interactive, navigable 3D cities. The classes are represented as buildings in the city, while the packages are depicted as the districts in which the buildings reside. The visible properties of the city artifacts depict a set of chosen software metrics. (via mikeloukides on Twitter)
- Subscriptions Are the New Black (Dave McClure) -- high-octane rant that boils down to "deliver a good product, charge a fair price". Nobody tell 37Signals, they'll be pissed to discover they've been on the wrong track for all this time. Oh wait ...
- Khan Academy -- not a Star Trek spinoff but a collection of easy-to-understand science, maths, and economics instructional YouTube screencasts. (via Jon Udell)

LOL.
yeah, you're right Nat... Jason Fried and 37 Signals are probably the best example of stuff i was talking about in that post.
Mint fiasco aside, i think Jason is one of the smartest guys around and 37 Signals is an awesome business... kudos to him/them.
