Rands In Repose: The Makers of Things
- gord 18y agoBeautiful Bridge Photos. This guys writing is really good, check out his other articles eg. "Most Startups Fail" about getting to v1.0 Thanks for the post.
- sarvesh 18y agoYes he does write good. My favourite is this one http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2005/03/20/free_electron.html http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2005/03/20/free_electr....
- cschep 18y agoCertainly. His article about N.A.D.D. (http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2003/07/10/nadd.html http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2003/07/10/nadd.html) was so spot on that I had to consume the rest of his writings. Very cool to see a true nerd brained person that connects so well with other nerds, yet has an awesome knack for understanding "normal" brained people as well. It seems like he would be a great boss.
- hypermatt 18y agoYeah also check out his book, quite a fun read ;) hit home many times.

- cubicle67 18y agoFor anyone interested, the BBC produced an excellent series "The Seven Wonders of the Industrial World", one episode of which covers the Brooklyn Bridge. It's available as a set of DVDs, but the book is also well worth getting. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seven-Wonders-Industrial-World-DVD/dp/B0006B15JI http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seven-Wonders-Industrial-World-DVD/d...
