Sachin Agarwal // I love good food, good drinks, fast cars, photography and New York City. I've never owned a PC. I worked on Final Cut Pro for six amazing years at Apple. I always ask, "What would Steve Jobs do?"
I’m a cofounder at Posterous.
Real estate agents have really latched on to Posterous as a way to manage their social media presence. Being a real estate agent is all about communication and the more you can be in front of your clients, the better.
We're really stoked that Posterous works so well for you guys. Let us know what else you need!
Two MIT students have successfully photographed the earth from space on a strikingly low budget of $148. Perhaps more significantly, they managed to accomplish this feat using components available off-the-shelf to the average layperson, opening the doors for a new generation of amateur space enthusiasts. The pair plan to launch again soon and hope that their achievements will inspire teachers and students to pursue similar endeavors.
One of the greatest things about being a software engineer is if you can dream it, you can build it. Especially today with resources like the Rackspace Cloud, it's easier than ever to turn your product vision into reality.
In the past, I've had ideas for consumer electronics or other hardware devices. But it's much harder to build something physical and get it out to people.
Mad props to these MIT students for accomplishing so much with little money and only off the shelf components. I hope one day I have time to build physical things.
I'm a HUGE fan of time travel movies, The Terminator and Back to the Future series' are high on my list.
This video is awesome! Make sure to play it full screen, the quality is really good.
Really great movie, worth watching the whole thing :)
Some logos are very creative and have subtle symbols and messages that represents something about the company it stands for. We explore a handful of such logos in this collection.
Big 10
The Big Ten Conference is the United States’ oldest Division 1 college athletic conference. Since Penn State joined in 1990, there have been 11 schools in the Big Ten. They revamped their logo by placing a hidden number 11 on either sides of the letter T to stand for the actual number of schools in the division.
Goodwill
Goodwill is a nonprofit organization that helps disadvantaged people in North America. The letter G in the logo is a smiling face, conveying the notion that Goodwill provides happiness and relief to those in need.
Sun Microsystems
If you look at the diamond icon on the left of the company’s name, you will see that it spells out Sun starting from any corner. It is a wonderful example of symmetry.
Amazon
This logo has been around for over a decade, but many people do not know that there’s a hidden symbolism in Amazon’s logo. The arrow from A to Z represents that the website sells everything from A to Z, and doubles as a "smile" to suggest satisfied customers.
Toblerone
In the company’s logo, you will see a bear hidden in the mountain. The bear is the symbol of the city of Berne in Switzerland where Toblerone is produced.
Baskin Robbins
At first glance, this logo looks simply like the initials for Baskin Robins but if you take a second look, you will see the number 31 in the acronym (highlighted in a pink color). This stems from the idea that Baskin Robbins sells 31 types of ice cream, one for each day of the month.
FedEx
The hidden rightward-pointing arrow in the negative space between the letter E and X conveys the speed and precision of the company’s delivery service.
Hope for African Children Initiative
At first glance, this logo looks like a map of Africa, but if you take a closer look, you will see two people facing each other.
Milwaukee Brewers
The old Milwaukee Brewers logo uses the team’s initials (B and M) to form a catcher’s glove holding a ball.
Northwest Airlines
The old Northwest Airlines logo has a very clever icon. Not only does the icon on the left of the text spell out N and W, but the arrow and circle symbolizes a compass pointing in the northwestern direction.
