I can't believe the end of the month is upon us already. The end of February always seems to catch us off guard. Anyway, here's a few articles I found worth sharing this month. I hope you find some of them interesting and/or useful.
Building My Dream Productivity Mouse
I used to use a trackball mouse for a while. And Elecom DEFT Pro to be precise. They're actually great when you have no flat surfaces around to use a traditional mouse on, like on a train. This thing though, is a whole different beast. Also, I think I need a 3D scanner now.
Meishi: a tiny productivity system
Designer Arun Venkatesan shows off his business-card based note taking system. It's pretty cool, and would be relatively cost effective to produce. My business cards actually have a 5x5 dot grid (in pink) on the back side too, specifically for taking notes. But, my business cards are very nice and eye-wateringly expensive. This is a dedicated system - which I guess includes the phone case/card holder as part of it.
The hardest working font in Manhattan
A fascinating look back through the history of Gorton. A great read for anyone interested in typography, particularly type made by machine.
50 Years of Travel Tips
Kevin Kelly of The Technium breaks down all his travelling tips. This is mostly geared for holiday travel rather than business, but there's a lot of surprising things in here. Worth a read just for a peek into somebody elses life.
Meditations On Moloch
Full disclosure, I haven't read this one yet. But it does come recommended by John Mauriello of Design Theory, who I've linked some of his ramblings on Moloch before. I thought I'd share it here.
