I don’t follow Techmeme as much as I used to but once in a while it helps me come across good stuff, like the video below, which was highlighted in a recent 9to5Mac post.

Apple’s Tim Cook may not be as charismatic a speaker as Steve Jobs but I enjoyed his Auburn commencement speech about his decision to trust his intuition when he decided to join Apple in 1998. He quotes Abraham Lincoln (“I will prepare and some day my chance will come.”) and delivered his own take on making life choices:

“For the most important decision in your life, trust your intuition, and then work with everything you’ve got to prove it right.”

Great inspiration.

A great SlideShare presentation from last summer by Paul Adams, a member of Google’s UX team. It’s about the differences of online and offline social networks, and why it is important to understand these differences when designing for the web (or, really, doing anything web-related these days).
