Tesla
/This is what manufacturing in the US needs to look like.
Simplicity
/I really like this perspective on simplicity. As the years tick by, I'm finding it more and more true that saying "yes" to something means saying "no" to lots of other things. Or put another way, saying "no" to most things allows you to focus on the things you love. However, saying "no" comes with the responsibility of saying "yes" to something meaningful.

/Wonderful interview of Pixar's Ed Catmull. I love the idea that these seemingly small social aspects within a team can make or break a creative endeavor.
Sounds of the Shuttle
/This video was going around the web a few months ago. I finally got a chance to watch it and I'm pretty blown away. Amazing sound.
