Great design stuff

960 Grid System (960.gs) is a lot cooler than the Yahoo UI Grids system, I think, because it includes cool “sketch sheets” that you can print out and doodle on.   Very cool for mocking up new ideas.  Templates are also included for Photoshop, Visio, Omnigraffle and more.  Highly Recommended.

And while we’re talking about Visio and Omnigraffle, Check out the Yahoo UI Design Stencil Kit!  Great for mocking up new UIs.

marco: Starbucks has apparently changed their “freshness” campaign a little. Before, the Pike Place Roast bags proclaimed their roasting date, which is far more relevant to freshness than any other factor. Good coffee requires beans that have been roasted no more than a week ago. Ideally, it’s within only a few days. Every Starbucks roasting date I’ve seen has been 3-6 weeks in the past. The Pike Place Roast bags now advertise their “Freshly scooped on” date. Yes, that’s right: the date that somebody poured beans into the bag. Someone bagged these stale beans today! They must be “fresh”! (The upper menu board, the only remaining place I saw the roasting date mentioned, claimed a roasting date of April 20.)  sick.

Pixar's Brad Bird on Fostering Innovation
The first step in achieving the impossible is believing that the impossible can be achieved. … “You don’t play it safe—you do something that scares you, that’s at the edge of your capabilities, where you might fail. That’s what gets you up in the morning.”
