Mr. Cartoon: ”People tend to think that certain people have a magical talent or they’re gifted… I tend to think we’re all pretty much equal and some of us find our passion before others.”
Leica produced a special edition of the M9-P Camera with Hermès. This video is the manufacturing process for the camera (as well as the bag and everything else that comes with the limited run of only 100, in honor of the late Hermès president). The video doesn’t have any captions or commentary, but its still captivating with the amount of detail to each item in the bag. Shout out to the bone scoring and book binding process!

I had no idea the “TextEdit” application (for Mac OS X) icon had this quote written on the page, originally aired in a 1997 Apple commercial.
Mark Zuckerberg wore a hoodie to a big IPO meeting on wall street. Media got worked up about it and it started because Michael Pachter, an analyst, told Bloomberg that, by wearing the sweatshirt, “he’s actually showing investors he doesn’t care that much… I think that’s a mark of immaturity.”
Esquire magazine thinks it was a calculated move and as a fellow 20-something year old, I agree:
“You can bet the hoodie was an intentional move, some cavalier suggestion about this being a new era for investing, where even the young adults who spend their time Twittering and, yes, Facebooking, might find a place for their money to swell like their friend counts.”
