Rhoneisms

“And so, after endless drafts, I learned a valuable lesson:

Don’t try to be clever. Just draw.”

Here is the thing: Social media is word of mouth.

Great post by Sue blowing a well deserved hole through a “study” masquerading as “research”.

Introducing Minimal Mac

Introducing my new online project — Minimal Mac. I’ve long been enamored of minimalist applications, desktop setups and resources on the Mac. There are few things I love more, or am more inspired by, than a clean, uncluttered, distraction free computing experience. I wanted a place where I could feature, review and catalog these items. Minimal Mac is that place.

I have a fair amount of stuff saved up to post and there are certainly new links, apps and resources released all the time. That said, I’m always on the lookout for more and welcome your submissions. Feel free to hit me up on Twitter (@patrickrhone) or email patrickrhone at gmail dot com.

Really interesting piece that is made more interesting by the fact that it was written in “tweets”.

marco:

We plan to continue to run Zappos the way we have always run Zappos — continuing to do what we believe is best for our brand, our culture, and our business. From a practical point of view, it will be as if we are switching out our current shareholders and board of directors for a new one, even though the technical legal structure may be different.

Wow. This is a pretty big deal if you like buying shoes on the internet.

I love Zappos. I wear the same pair of shoes every day, and when they wear out, I just order the same ones again.

I second that wow.

Indeed.

So nice to see Meg back again. Even with all of the disclaimers, her voice has been missed in my online life and it will be a pleasure to hear it again no matter the frequency.

New (to me at least) project by Shawn Blanc. How am I going to, with a clear mind, use my own iPhone photos now?
