I just finished the fantastic audiobook The Perfect Thing: How the iPod Shuffles Commerce, Culture and Coolness.
The most impacting part of the book was the description of the design process for the original iPod and how the entire thing came together in a matter of several intense weeks. The passion and clarity of vision that drove the creative process are enviable. Wanna change the world? There’s something to be learned here.
