Nice job, Kelly.(Full screen the video for maximum enjoyment.)
Hey Folks,
I’m pretty excited to show off the first version of something Allan and I have been working on for the past few months on our free time. We spent the weekend inside from Irene putting the finishing touches on an early version. We call it LayerVault.
LayerVault is a simple version control for designers. As you work with you PSD files, each time you press Command + S a version of your file is saved. It’s great if you work with clients that can’t make up their mind or if you just like the peace of mind of having backups.
If you’re a designer that spends a lot of time in Photoshop, check it out and shoot me an email if you’d like an early invite. It’s in closed beta right now but we’ll be rolling things as fast as we can.
Thanks!
(Also, those that reblog the video will get first placement in the invite line as our way of saying thanks!)
Hurricanes are the latest discovery of radio stations and they are being taken up in a big way. To me, Nature is continuously absorbing— that is, she is a twenty-four-hour proposition, fifty-two weeks of the year— but to radio people, Nature is an oddity tinged with malevolence and worthy of note only in her more violent moments. The radio either lets Nature alone or gives her the full treatment, as it did at the approach of the hurricane called Edna. The idea, of course, is that the radio shall perform a public service by warning people of a storm that might prove fatal; and this the radio certainly does. But another effect of the radio is to work people up to an incredible state of alarm many hours in advance of the blow, while they are still fanned by the mildest zephyrs. One of the victims of Hurricane Edna was a civil-defense worker whose heart failed him long before the wind threatened him in the least.

Steve Jobs at the 2010 Oscars (by Zadi Diaz)
I remember this moment clearly. People were swirling by in pre-Oscar excitement. Steve looked directly into my lens with a smirk and I quickly snapped the photo. I remember just hoping I didn’t mess up the only shot I would really care about. It was a complete geek-out.
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
