Tofu-shaped Breathing Chair via @zwing99
via cctv.com

"The "breathing chair" looks like a piece of white, square tofu. Wu said that the chair is made of high-density foam plastic that is 100 percent environmentally-friendly. There is a "trick" behind the design of various sizes of holes in the chair – based on professional calculation of the spatial structure, the tofu-shaped chair, coated with three layers of foamed plastic, can "automatically adjust" according to the weight and posture of the person sitting on it."

AWESOME!

Where do great ideas come from? (quote from @cameronmoll)

Great ideas are often born out of terrible circumstances.

Here's a tweet I had favorited from Cameron Moll. I read it recently and was really taken by the truth of it. I printed it out and placed it on my wall at work. Thanks for the wisdom.

Letting go - from @destraynor

Like most fun projects I've been involved in Bigulo started off as 800 lines of broken code, that we were always told that "anyone could have written". But we did, and that's usually the difference.

Des Traynor writes about a site he and his friend built, grew, and sold and the lessons he learned in the process. Great lessons and interesting read.

Shut up! Announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them.

Shouldn't you announce your goals, so friends can support you?

Isn't it good networking to tell people about your upcoming projects?

Doesn't the “law of attraction” mean you should state your intention, and visualize the goal as already yours?

Nope.

Tests done since 1933 show that people who talk about their intentions are less likely to make them happen.

 

Really great article by Derek Sivers. Take a read: Shut up! Announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them.

How Much Are You Looking to Spend?

I spend a fair amount of time developing quotes for websites.  Heck - I’m even travelling to the Netherlands to talk about my approach for quoting and planning ExpressionEngine based sites.  One of the tougher aspects of quoting work is that initial feeling-out of the prospective client.  Do they want steak on a hamburger budget or are they realistic about the costs involved for what they want?

Good article about one aspect of giving quotes for potential projects. Really great insight!
