Jason Fried (37signals) Interview
waffle: under the iron has an interview of Jason Fried from 37signals that is worth reading. Jason helped found the company, and is their champion of simplicity and good UI design. The interview covers topics of 37signals’ origin, evolution, future, and things of interest to Jason himself. Here is a taste of the interview (details on his background in Finance):
I think financial tables are beautiful. That’s how I got started in design. My dad is an investor and I always remember him bringing home those glossy annual reports. I used to thumb through them all — pretending I know what they hell they said. But, it was the financial tables that always caught my attention. The clean lines, the orderly data, the information design, the numbers, the structure.
And they still do.
