signal noise
Showreel from signal noise design group, really impressive work in user interface and information design. More and more, groups like this show an impressive new world where designers are responsible for the experience and not necessarily reliant on the artifacts.

Labor
This video from NPR highlights the changes in mass production of potato chips and how the manufacturing workforce of the past century has evolved with automation.
I've spent some time in an industrial bakery while growing up and it would constantly amaze me how automatons would streamline the bake cycles. The first human contact was usually in packaging and that seems to be the same for these chips.

On a related note, here is a good TED Talk concerning labor, creation, ownership, and pride. Living in the world of mass manufacturing, there is an interesting dynamic beween efficiency and individual ownership.

Esslinger
One of my favorite designers who I have the utmost admiration for gives advise to designers in this piece. As expected, it is bold and direct and it makes me want to find the courage to be more so in my work.
So many of his designs have been so correct in execution that they've become ubiquitous and accepted to the point that you no longer remember any other way it could be.

ARK1 Patch by Shepard Fairey
A great little short giving Shepard's thoughts on creating this very neat patch. This is the kind of creative collaboration that the space program needs.
Growing up, my grandfather would take me to the planetarium and I would stare at all the mission patches behind the glass at the gift shop, thinking each one represented some super human endeavor. Those tiny sewn images imply so much wonder!
