Architecture: Philip Kennicott on 'House of Cars' and parking's place in culture - washingtonpost.com:

There may, in fact, be life after parking, especially if cities begin to treat it more like smoking – a public nuisance to be pushed to the limits of the urban infrastructure – than a public right, to be accommodated no matter what the cost. And those haunting images of empty lots and vacant parking decks? Perhaps they were fantasies, not nightmares, portents of a better, more rational, healthier and greener world.

This seems like a convincing argument to allow coworkers to bring their cats in to work instead of dogs. (via Good)

8 stars speak out on Steve Jobs - Larry Ellison - FORTUNE

8 stars speak out on Steve Jobs - Larry Ellison - FORTUNE:

minimalmac:

I remember when Steve was my neighbor in Woodside, Calif., and he had no furniture. It struck me that there wasn’t furniture good enough for Steve in the world. He’d rather have nothing if he couldn’t have perfection.

And I jokingly said, “The difference between me and Steve is that I’m willing to live with the best the world can provide. With Steve that’s not always good enough.” And if you look at how he tackles building a phone, or building a laptop, he really is in pursuit of this technical and aesthetic perfection. And he just won’t compromise.

Don’t compromise. Don’t settle. Don’t own anything unless it is something that adds real value to your world. Question everything. And when the answer is “yes”, wait a while and ask the question again.

Shanghai (via nekoko1206)

Every time I ride the DC Metro, I remember how much easy to understand and just downright better the Shanghai subway was. Notice the wayfinding: the sign above the door shows the next station for the train on that side of the platform as well as the station it’s coming from; the map next to those show you all stops after that, lined up with the direction the train is travelling (in DC it’s often on vertical pillars, which make little sense); and the arrows on the ground that show you where to wait when people get off the train. Not to mention the glass wall that prevents you from falling onto the tracks.

The beauty of small

The beauty of small:

Smaller homes require less heating, less cleaning, less maintenance, force you to simplify, are cozier.

If there’s one thing I learned when I was in Japan, it’s that small is awesome.

One-handed computing with the iPhone

One-handed computing with the iPhone:

Straphangers in NYC and elsewhere know what a great one-handed device the iPhone is. Riding the subway and reading has never been so easy, especially during rush hour when pointy hardcovers become weaponized. (Getting shived by a hardbound Harry Potter on the 6pm 5 train is no joke.)

For some reason, I couldn’t remember the word straphangers the other day – definitely one of my favorite in the English language.
