Monday Q&A: Designer David Wright, departing NPR for Twitter, has just one favor to ask » Nieman Journalism Lab
David Wright is an award-winning designer who, in his time at NPR, worked on everything from their mobile music platform to NPR’s homepage design. Wright has spent a lot of time sharing his design philosophy with the news world, trying to explain how he built what he built, but also trying to make news managers understand the importance of making design a priority early on.
But now, Wright is leaving the news world behind — sort of. He’ll be moving over to Twitter, to work with what he considers an all-star team of web platform designers. (He joins API whiz Daniel Jacobson, now at Netflix, as NPR talent to move to prominent positions in the technology world — not the most common path.) Though not entirely sure what projects he’ll be working on, Wright says he has a lot of big ideas for simplifying Twitter and making it a bigger part of a variety of websites. And while he won’t be working in a newsroom anymore, Wright predicts he’ll learn a lot about how people are sharing and consuming information that could, down the road, be of great value to publishers.

Steve Jobs History Plays Role in Apple E-Book Trial - Peter Kafka - Media - AllThingsD
Apple wants you to know that Steve Jobs wasn’t just into the idea of iBooks and an iBookstore, but was intimately involved in its product design and launch in the fall of 2009 and early 2010.
For instance:
- The “page curls” in the iBook app, which show up when you flip an iBook’s page? That’s Steve Jobs’s idea.
- It was Jobs’s idea to pick “Winnie-the-Pooh” as the freebie book that came with every iBook app. Not just because Jobs liked the book, Cue said, but because it showed off iBook’s capabilities: “It had beautiful color drawings, that had never been seen before in a digital book.”
- Jobs was also specific about the book he used to show off the iBook during his initial iPad demo in January 2010. He picked Ted Kennedy’s “True Compass” memoir, because the Kennedy family “meant a lot to him,” Cue said.

The writer-producer-director who made Much Ado About Nothing while editing The Avengers, and who’ll return to TV this fall with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., knows a bit about “getting things done.” In fact, he cites David Allen’s book of that title as an important guide—even if he never finished reading it.

I Can’t Quit You Baby ~ Otis Rush (The Otis Rush Blues Band)
Oh yes…a stonkin’ Classic this! Between 1956 and 1958, guitarist Otis Rush recorded a string of hits for Chicago’s Cobra Records label, but it all started with “I Can’t Quit You Baby.” A slow, powerful twelve-bar blues song written and produced by the great Willie Dixon for Rush, the guitarist was spurred on by Dixon to deliver a passionate performance that has stood for the ages. Covered by many but all owe this original so much — I never got to see Otis in his prime —- I’d’ve still been in short pants — but I did see him early on in the 60’s do this and bring the house down. So it’s the Monday Got The Blues selection from the Flimwell Papers’ Music Corner. Peace, love and music y’all!
