Aparently there was a mad genius at work behind all those icons (the hour glass, the arrow, the Macintosh swirly-thing) that have now become part of our visual lexicon. Her name is Susan Kare and she works here in San Francisco. She's got a pretty good personal site where you can flip through the icons she's responsible for, a bit mind-blowing. It's like chatting with the person who invented the language of the 21st century. And the tapestry? Let's just say I'll never look at a pixel the same way again.
