Yet another meditation app? Oak popped up on my Twitter stream the other day. It's free to download, so I did, and now it's sitting on my home screen ready for a test drive. I watched the intro video which is beautifully animated, but I haven't moved beyond that. Am I doing this right?

Easy app/software action shots
|
|
Not that we really need more fake photos of people using software, but I can see how this little mockup tool can come in handy for presentations or press imagery. Of course, if you can take real photos of people using your app, you'll get brownie points from 'press folks' like me.

Create/share interactive presentations
|
|
Such a simple, but lovely idea: export your slides as a PDF, upload it to Draftsend, record your voice talking through the presentation, and then share it with the world. Draftsend makes boring slideshows fun again.

A vanishing timepiece
This watch appears in three distinct colourways while its signature gradient “turns to reveal the white hour numerals printed on the glass above. Each hour appears as the dark end of the design passes under it, and slowly disappears as the gradient rotates back to white."

A new interview journal by/about women
The beautiful design of this new magazine caught my eye: "Romance Journal is a publication devoted to exploring truth and raising our collective consciousness. In the midst of personal trials and global challenges each issue, based on a theme, will explore human experiences through the eyes of 10 powerful, thoughtful, and creative women awakening to their life's purpose." The topic of their second (and current) issue: Resistance!

"Everybody who makes software needs to be working on fixing a much bigger and more important set of bugs." Another thougtful call to action by Anil Dash.

Want to Change the System? 'Become the System'
|

A compelling interview with Derk Loorbach, director of the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions: "It is not possible to predict transitions, but it is possible to look at the symptoms of unsustainability, that indicate a disruptive phase. You could ask whether the current equilibrium is sustainable or not."

Tech Giants, Once Seen as Saviors, Are Now Viewed as Threats
|
|
When an industry doesn't (want to) understand the power it yields: "The picture is likely to get even more complicated. Mr. Prince foresees several possible dystopian futures. One is where every search engine has a political point of view, and users gravitate toward the one they feel most comfortable with. That would further balkanize the internet."

It’s not about adding diversity for the sake of diversity, it’s about subtracting homogeneity for the sake of realism.
