Hakiri

Funny Sunday morning stuff:

Steve Jobs and St. Peter are also there.

The following is a great TED talk from David Carson. David is a typographer running a successful magazine which explores the possibilities of text on a page. In his talk, David makes some useful points about design but also provides some other intriguing insights worth taking note of.

I like what he said about what will be next, just near the end of the presentation. Quoting:

What’s next? What’s next is going to be people. As we get more technically driven the importance of people becomes more than as ever seen before. You have to utilize who you are and your work. Nobody else can do that. Nobody else can pull from your background, your parents, your upbringing, your whole life experience. If you allow that to happen, it is really the only way to do some unique work and you are going to enjoy the work a lot more as well.

and a bit further he says:

For the most part they are not real-life threatening (talking about jobs). Why not experiment? Why not have some fun? Why not put some of yourself into the work… and when I was teaching I used to always ask the students what is the definition of a good job… and as a teacher you have to give them all the answers, you have to give them the correct answer… and the best one I’ve heard is… and I am sure that some of you have heard this… the definition of a good job is that if you can afford to, if money wasn’t an issue, would you be doing that same work? And if you would then you have a great job. If you wouldn’t, what the heck are you doing…

…and with that completes another great TED talk.

Lat week I have been relatively busy with all sorts of projects and things to do. Nevertheless, I’ve managed to collect all kinds of interesting things which I hope I will have time to publish them all on Hakiri. The following post is most about creative advertising. I am quite bored of traditional adverts so all of the currently displayed ads come very fresh, indeed.

If you are an RSS reader and you cannot see the pictures above, click on the following link.

The newton virus is a harmless Mac application, very similar to some of the first fun viruses that came around with the wide spread of the personal/home computing appliances.

Shame that they don’t make more of these anymore!

It cannot get cheesier then that. I hope that none takes this video seriously. Have a look.

So, do you really think that a single solution can protect you from all the badness of the Internet? Think again! It is too naive to think like that.

Firstly, hello all, I’m Daniel and pdp has gratiously asked me to join this damn cool project and I’m honored to do so. I’ve been around in the security scene for a long time now, but actually came from a fashion background, having studied at the London College of Fashion.

Starting off with my first post, I thought i’d cover the need of having a well-designed, hacker friendly, USB drive. Domo-kun inspired ones are pretty damn tight in my opinion and look good when using your Portable Apps.
