He and another employee went to work creating beautiful mock-ups depicting the perfect interface for the new program. On the appointed day, Evangelist and the rest of the team gathered in the boardroom. They&#039;d brought page after page of prototype screen shots showing the new program&#039;s various windows and menu options, along with paragraphs of documentation describing how the app would work. &#039;Then Steve comes in,&#039; Evangelist recalls. &#039;He doesn&#039;t look at any of our work. He picks up a marker and goes over to the whiteboard. He draws a rectangle. &#039;Here&#039;s the new application,&#039; he says. &#039;It&#039;s got one window. You drag your video into the window. Then you click the button that says burn. That&#039;s it. That&#039;s what we&#039;re going to make.&#039; &#039;&quot;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestranger.com\/seattle\/what-could-possibly-go-wrong\/Content?oid=4399657\" title=\"What Could Possibly Go Wrong\">What Could Possibly Go Wrong<\/a>: &quot;The Seattle City Council is about to give the state permission to dig the world&#039;s largest deep-bore tunnel under downtown Seattle. Here&#039;s what the city council doesn&#039;t want you to know before they vote.&quot; I&#039;ve thought the deep-bore tunnel was a disastrous idea from the get go, and this article just hammers home how right I was. Scary how committed some people are to pushing this through, no matter what.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/talk\/comment\/2010\/07\/12\/100712taco_talk_hertzberg\" title=\"The Name of the Game\">The Name of the Game<\/a>: &quot;&#039;Soccer,&#039; by the way, is not some Yankee neologism but a word of impeccably British origin. It owes its coinage to a domestic rival, rugby, whose proponents were fighting a losing battle over the football brand around the time that we were preoccupied with a more sanguinary civil war. Rugby&#039;s nickname was (and is) rugger, and its players are called ruggers&#8211;a bit of upper-class twittery, as in &#039;champers,&#039; for champagne, or &#039;preggers,&#039; for enceinte. &#039;Soccer&#039; is rugger&#039;s equivalent in Oxbridge-speak. The &#039;soc&#039; part is short for &#039;assoc,&#039; which is short for &#039;association,&#039; as in &#039;association football,&#039; the rules of which were codified in 1863 by the all-powerful Football Association, or FA&#8211;the FA being to the U.K. what the NFL, the NBA, and MLB are to the U.S.&quot;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.nwsource.com\/html\/dannywestneat\/2012294069_danny07.html\" title=\"Bookstore Embraces, Bucks Web\">Bookstore Embraces, Bucks Web<\/a>: &quot;On Monday, Once Sold Tales opened an old-fashioned walk-in bookstore, in the front of the company&#039;s main warehouse (the website business remains.)
