Interesting Things on the Internet: April 11th 2016

• OMATA: A Modern Mechanical Design Approach. Lovely article about OMATA's beautiful GPS bike speedometer. I especially like the term modern mechanical. It sums up nicely the sort of products I'm aiming for with MCQN Ltd.
• What It’s Like to Get a National-Security Letter. A behind-the-scenes look at the usually-shrouded-in-secrecy process of responding to a request for information from the US security services.
• Design Facts. An interesting collection of facts about design (as you'd possibly expect :-)
• Saul Alinsky, community organizing and rules for radicals. Interesting article about an interesting person. Will have to seek out some of his books.
• ‘The Finkbeiner Test’. Good set of tests/rules to follow when writing about scientists (who happen to be women).
