It says so much about the obsessively beautiful design of Apple products that even the backs of their products look good.

Work Life Balance

Whilst rummaging through my Instapaper queue for some lunchtime reading I found this video.

I was struck by this comment:

thousands of people… working long hard hours, at jobs they hate, to buy things they don’t need, to impress people they don’t like

OK so this is perhaps a little overly dramatic, but it’s not that far from the truth for many people I think.

There’s got to be a better way. Right?

Don’t Mess With Keef

Channel hopping late last night I stumbled across the 50 Greatest Guitar Heroes on MTV; a rather drawn out, ad filled marathon of a programme.

Luckily I happened upon it at just the right moment to see the Rolling Stones performing ‘Satisfaction’ live. A performance which includes this wonderful moment where a fan rushes the stage; Keith Richards sees him coming and deals with him with style and aplomb hardly missing a beat.

And this is why Keith cannot be destroyed by conventional weapons.
