### 1\. [42 Hours of Buckminster Fuller’s Visionary Lectures](http://architecturelab.net/2014/02/42-hours-buckminster-fullers-visionary-lectures/)

Think of the name Buckminster Fuller, and you may think of a few oddities of mid-twentieth-century design for living: the Dymaxion House, the Dymaxion Car, the geodesic dome...But these artifacts represent only a small fragment of Fuller’s life and work as a self-styled “comprehensive anticipatory design scientist.”

### 2\. [‘JIF’ Is the Format. ‘GIF’ Is the Culture.](https://medium.com/message/af8673796c44)

### 3\. [50 Things](http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/50%5Fthings)

Be yourself. Create. Inspire, and be inspired. Grow. Laugh. Learn. Love. Welcome to some of the best years of your lives.

### 4\. [Engineering Management: Why are software development task estimations regularly off by a factor of 2-3?](http://www.quora.com/Engineering-Management/Why-are-software-development-task-estimations-regularly-off-by-a-factor-of-2-3/answer/Michael-Wolfe)

This is the best metaphorical description of the creative process I have read. Give this one to your manager who asks how long it is going to take to complete a project (if they even actually ask before deciding for you). It relates closely to [fractals](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractals), and [here is a great podcast](http://5by5.tv/b2w/52) that goes into the assertion that the hidden cost is the actual true cost.

### 5\. [The Man Who Literally Built Star Wars](http://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture/star-wars-roger-christian)

One of the most memorable elements of the original Star Wars in 1977 wasn't the story, or characters, or even the soundtrack. It was the set design.
