Jessica, c’est pour toi: Aimee Mullins talks at TED about prosthetic aesthetics, how the relationship with her prosthetic legs has changed from “filling in a loss” to redefining what her body can be. Quite inspiring.

NYTimes’s Year in Ideas. A is for Automated Anesthesia, B is for Bubble Wrap That Never Ends, C is for Carbon Penance, etc… not people, not products, not events, not news—just ideas and concepts only.

Nina Katchadourian s’est amusée à réparer des toiles d’araignées avec du fil rouge. Ce à quoi elle ne s’entendait pas, c’est que les araignées rejettent les réparations de l’artiste et refassent les morceaux de toiles manquantes eux-même.

Best link this week as “The Story Gets Deeper”: HBOvoyeur. Be ready to want to see everything. How would one call this kind of production?

Onesentence.org is true stories told in one sentence. If I meet somebody who has been working on a project for some time and I feel they are kind of sick of telling people about it (and thus don’t really feel like getting into explaining the whole thing) I always ask them to simply explain it in one sentence, no more. Challenging them to a concise yet full and direct explanation always seem to get them started and interested in talking about it.
