L-Studio - The Desk »
Since moving home and doing all my work on an easy chair, I’ve started to fetishize desks. This short video is all about the importance of a desk and what it says about the person who uses it. It’s not helping at all.
The Stallman Dialogues »
There was some question in work about whether or not Richard Stallman is actually a plant by Microsoft – some long-game Manchurian Candidate shit – to discredit the free software movement. Evidence: Stallman’s rider for talks, Stallman’s personal FAQ, Stallman eating his own toe-jam.

The original iPod, 10 years later: a re-review »
Ars Technica re-reviews the original iPod. Bottom line: “if you still have one of these original ones lying around, find a FireWire cable and plug it in. You might be surprised at how well it still works.”
Also, the industrial design of the first-gen iPod is still amazing.
It's just what it is
A waltz called “Last Leaf” — with Mr. Richards joining on vocals — celebrates the image of a lone leaf clinging to a tree: “The autumn took the rest but they won’t take me,” Mr. Waits sings. It’s tempting to hear it as a manifesto of stubborn persistence, but Mr. Waits shrugged that off.
“It was a tree, and there was one leaf left on the tree, and I wondered: ‘Wow, if you can make it through winter, you may be here until next year. Wouldn’t that be great, if you were just the only guy that hung on?’ ” he said. “I guess you could say everything’s a metaphor for everything else, but sometimes it’s just what it is. It’s just what it’s about — about a tree.”

Style Goals
So, I wasn’t really convinced about the denim and blazer look until I saw this photo. I might just thrown my jeans in the washing machine now.
I’m about as far away from being a dapper Asian gent as it’s possible to be, but this is the exact look I want to aim for.
