This American Life 454: Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory

In supplement to the last link, here is an hour podcast episode of This American Life on the same topic. A must-listen. 

The Apple Boycott: People Are Spouting Nonsense about Chinese Manufacturing

Tim Worstall, for Forbes:

Further, wages in China have been growing strongly recently. Since the late 1990s they have been growing at 14% per year (yes, after inflation is accounted for) and accelerating in the last couple of years. With compounding this means that manufacturing wages in China have risen four times since the turn of the century. The cause of this? Those vast factories built by the likes of Foxconn, the huge numbers of electronic toys and shiny gewgaws that we buy as they pour out of them.

It isn’t so black and white. Such a catch 22.

Gever Tulley’s 5 Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Kid Do. A great video at TED.

philcoffman:

This video is a few months old and most of you have probably already seen it, but I came across it again this morning and it has me all fired up to travel. Having two young boys limits our opportunities at this stage of life, but there’s still plenty we have yet to explore nearby in Austin and the Texas hill country. Plus, we still have many years ahead of us and plans and dreams for showing our boys the world. 

I have not seen this yet and it sure does get me excited about the idea of travel. I finish my last year of University this summer and am no considering a trek to celebrate.

Gridiron League

Wes Kull:

This is not an exercise in nostalgia but an interpretation of the league’s founding principles through the symbols that we, as football fans, identify with most.

Many NFL franchises — Patriots, Broncos, Rams, Lions — have updated their uniforms and logos to a swooshed-out, dropped-shadowed, and more commercial-ready image, ignoring a good deal of their team’s heritage and the original rough-and-tumble character that the league stood for.

Absolutely amazing work.

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
