  My first real Cinemagraph. I had this image in my head for weeks but never could figure out how to loop such a dynamic object such as steam. I finally think I have achieved it…

  Nest | The Learning Thermostat | Home

  Turns out the link from yesterday is designed by an ex-apple guy…go figure :)

  What’s it like for a guy who worked at Apple to start making thermostats? A lot like this:

  “So what are you working on lately?” a friend asks over lunch.

  “I started a new company. We make thermostats.”

  They chuckle, take a bite of their salad, “No, seriously. What are you doing?”

  “I’m serious. Thermostats.”

  They put down their fork, look concerned.

  That is Tony Fadell, who’s name you may remember as one of leading forces behind the iPod at Apple. Well, he has started a new company and introduced Nest, a smart thermostat that learns your heating a cooling preferences and adjusts accordingly. Plus, it is wi-fi enabled and you can control it with your iPhone. Looks really slick and has the added side benefit of saving you money on your energy bill.

  I don’t own a home, but this is just brilliant design.

  Another example of complexity and simplicity. They took something that can be complicated - thermostats in this case - and made them simpler to use; however behind that simplicity there’s a lot of complexity.

  Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. Then go and do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

  This is my favorite photo of Steve Jobs. Leaning forward to connect with his wife after his keynote presentation at the 2011 WWDC. You can almost feel the relief and accomplishment radiating from him.

  When I see this photo, I see a man who bent every fiber of his will toward a goal so lofty, so seemingly unattainable that no one thought it was possible, and at the end of that race, with the task completed, he closed his eyes and rested.

  Thank you Steve. I’ll miss you.

  Enough.
