I was missing for a long time a way of adding tasks to Asana from Safari in OS X so I have created and pushed to Github my own bookmarklet based on code previously posted on Stackoverflow.
I know, I know, there is already a Chrome extension available but I don’t like Chrome’s tendency to eat the battery of MBP alive…
This books series was “The Bible” of physics during my studies. If you want to learn how our universe works and have fun while doing it, go and enlighten yourself while having a great time!
Thanks much Caltech!
A really good essay about the status quo of Silicon Valley and the tech industry in San Francisco:
It suddenly occurred to me that the hottest tech start-ups are solving all the problems of being twenty years old, with cash on hand, because that’s who thinks them up.
It strikes me as a bit of a contradiction that in the 21st century all these companies are trying to centralize efforts and move as much employees as possible to their headquarters. Why do not make use of the very same innovations that they are bringing to market, embrace diversity and keep employees in different countries?
I would like to live in parallel universe where Richard Feynman is still alive…
We are getting close to intelligent machines but they are showing the unnecessary weaknesses of intelligence.
In innovation as in any other endeavour, there is talent, there is ingenuity, and there is knowledge. But when all is said and done, what innovation requires is hard, focused, purposeful work.
Peter Drucker (1985)
If you have some spare time, it is really worth the time to watch this video where Ed Catmull describes the way Pixar works internally. Lots of things to learn and a world away from the way I work these days…
I have studied physics which means that I am a physicist (well, kind of. I am working in getting back to it…) and I always thought that physics spoils completely your brain. Simply, because you are not able to look at nature in the same way anymore. You are constantly wondering how things work, questioning everything, asking yourself which theory could explain that particular phenomena…
Richard Feynman was The Physicist. A true genius. A nobel prize. One of a few great minds of the 20th century. Fraser Davidson crafted this beautiful video with an audio excerpt from one of Feyman’s ‘The Pleasure of Finding Things Out’ sessions that beautifully captures the essence of that feeling…
Look how beautiful it is…
