huh - didn't know the ipod fit into the golden mean.
Quoted: The golden mean is supposedly nature's most beautiful proportion (a:b = b:a+b, or 1.618). It's found in classical architecture, art, typography, human proportions, and conspiratorial math movies laden with jungle beats.

redotting this for anyone who wonders what being a designer is like. this 'letter' is geared towards web designers - but pretty much any designer has to go through with this kinda stuff.

totally agree with seth's accessments - i've actually done a lot of #1
("If you want average (mediocre) work, ask for it. Be really clear up front that you want something beyond reproach, that's in the middle of the road, that will cause no controversy and will echo your competition. It'll save everyone a lot of time.")because of #4
("It's not going to be easy to sell to your boss. That's your job, by the way, not mine. If you want me to do something great, you've got to be prepared to protect it and defend it. Come back too many times for one little compromise, and you'll make it clear that #1 was what you wanted all along.")while i was at microsoft, mainly because all of my ideas had been watered down by too many people freaking out.

From Crimeth.Inc:
Our favorite radio show, This American Life, recently did a hour show examining the current mortgage crisis— the straw that broke the camel’s back and triggered a global financial crisis, the end of which is nowhere in sight. As the U.S. stumbles forward deeper and deeper into a recession, it would behoove those of us who don’t understand what has happened to take a minute to learn about the economic process—which was truly not a major aberration from business as usual—behind the credit collapse that has many economists warning of a new economic depression.
As usual, TAL makes the dry subject matter absolutely fascinating and entertaining, interviewing victims and perpetrators at every level of the travesty, and as they say:
We explain it all to you. What does the housing crisis have to do with the turmoil on Wall Street? Why did banks make half-million dollar loans to people without jobs or income? And why is everyone talking so much about the 1930s? It all comes back to the Giant Pool of Money.
Listen to the show here, for free, by clicking on the ‘Full Episode’ link. For those looking for more details, another radio favorite of ours, Fresh Air, has some more perspectives here, and here. And of course, Wikipedia comes through with 12,000 words on the subject.
