Nick Bostrom: Humanity’s biggest problems aren’t what you think they are
Oxford philosopher and transhumanist Nick Bostrom examines the future of humankind, and asks whether we can — or should — alter our fundamental nature to solve our intrinsic problems. He asks us to reconsider three “inevitable” features of life: death, the risk of extinction, and our inability to live consistently full lives. If we could, would we correct these flaws? Can we humans alter our basic nature in ways that will enhance our experiences in the world? Do we want to? No matter what your answer, Bostrom’s engaging talk will force you to consider it carefully.
The World’s Ugliest Cars. I disagree.
Business Week is running an article on what are supposed to be the The World’s Ugliest Cars. I completely disagree, with the exception of the Aztek. I would suggest adding the Honda Element and the Scion XB.
I think the Ford Pinto (above) is a beauty.

Simple is best
Simple websites are easy to use, easy to understand, nice to look at. In practice, websites are either unusable or ugly and in general filled with too many complicated words. Why do designers have such a hard time to keep it simple?

business cards reinvented
I was just rejoicing as I discovered shineboxprint’s Business Card Booklets. Get a fully customizable booklet featuring 20 perforated identical cards bound into a protective cover. Or get a Versioned Booklet: Also fully customizable but each of the 20 cards has a common side and a unique side. Perfect for a Mini Portfolio.
What a fabulous idea!
(Thank you Luis!)
