BOOK
Scott Schuman just wanted to take photographs of people on the street who looked great. His now famous blog ('the bellwether American site that turned photo blogging into an art form 'New York Times) was an attempt to showcase the wonderful and varied sartorial tastes of real people - not only those of the fashion industry. The book is a beautiful anthology of Scott's favourite shots from around the world. They include photographs of well-known fashion figures as well as those shots of the anonymous passerby whose imagination and taste delight the viewer.

BOOK
What have the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street Crash, Harry Potter and the internet got in common? Why should u never run for a train or read a newspaper? What can Catherine the Great’s lovers tell us about probability? Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s new book is all about Black Swans: the random events that underlie our lives, from bestsellers to world disasters. Their impact is huge; they’re nearly impossible to predict; yet after they happen we always try to rationalize them. A rallying cry to ignore the ‘expert’s, The Black Swan shows us how to stop trying to predict everything and take advantage of uncertainty.

The List02_The list 02 22/11/09 15:30 Pagina 28
Before the discovery of Australia, people in the old world were convinced that all swans were white, an unassailable belief as it seemed completely confirmed by empirical evidence. The sighting of the first black swan might have been an interesting surprise for a few ornithologists (and others extremely concerned with the coloring of birds), but that is not where the significance of the story lies. It illustrates a severe limitaton to our learning from observations or experience and the fragility of our knowledge. One single observation can invalidate a general statement derived from millennia of confirmatory sightings of millions of white swans. All you need is one single (and I’m told, quite ugly) black bird. I push one step beyond this philosophical-logical question into an empirical reality, and one that has obsessed me since childhood. what we call here a Black Swan (and capitalize it) is an event with the following three attributes. First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to it’s possibility. Second,it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable. I stop and summize the triplet: rarity, extreme impact, and retrospective (thought not prospective) predictability. A small number of Black Swans explain almost everything in our world, from the succes of ideas and religions, to the dynamics of historical events, to elements of our own personal lives. Ever since we left the Pleistocene, some ten millennia ago, the effect of these Black Swans has been increasing. It started accelerating during the industrial revolution, as the world started getting more complicated, while ordinary events, the ones we study and discuss and try to predict from reading the newspapers, have become increasingly inconsequential. Just imagine how little your understanding of the world on the eve of the events of 1914 would have helped you guess what was to happen next. (Don’t cheat by using the explanations drilled into your cranium by your dull high school teacher). How about the rise of Hitler and the subsequent war? How about the precipitous demise of the Soviet bloc? How about the rise of the Islamic fundamentalism? How about the spread of the Internet? How about the market crash of 1987 (and the more unexpected recovery)? Fads, epidemics, fashion, ideas, the emergence of art genres and schools. All follow these Black Swan dynamics. Literally, just about everything of significance around you might qualify.

Go through the following exercise. Look into your own existence. Count the signiďŹ cant events, the technological changes, and the inventions that have taken place in your environment since you were born and compare them to what was expected before their advent. How many came on a schedule? Look into your own personal life, to your choice of profession, say, or meeting your mate, your exile from your country of origin, the betrayals you faced, your sudden enrichment or impoverishment. How often did these things occur according to plan? Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The List02_The list 02 22/11/09 15:30 Pagina 30
This combination of low predictability and large impact makes the Black Swan a great puzzle; but that is not yet the core concern of this book. Add to this phenomenon the fact that we tend to act as if it does not exist! I don’t mean just you, your cousin Joey, and me, but almost all ‘social scientists’ who, for over a century, have operated under the false belief that their tools could measure uncertainty. For the applications of the sciences of uncertainty to real-world problems has had ridiculous effects; I have been privileged to see it in finance and economics. Go ask your portfolio manager for his definition of ‘risk’, and odds are that he will supply you with a measure that excludes the possibility of the Blac Swan- hence one that has no better predictive value for assessing the total risks than astrology (we will see how they dress up the intellectual fraud with mathematics). This problem is endemic in social matters. The central idea of this book concerns our blindness with respect to randomness, particularly the large deviations: why do we, scientists or nonscientists, hotshots or regular Joes, tend to see the pennies instead of the dollars? why do we keep focusing on the minutiae, not the possible significant large events, in spite of the obvious evidence of their huge influence? And, if you follow my argument, why does reading the newspaper actually decrease your knowledge of the world? It is easy to see that life is the cumulative effect of a handful of significant shocks. It is not so hard to identify the role of Black Swans, from your armchair (or bar stool). Go through the following exercise. Look into your own existence. Count the significant events, the technological changes, and the inventions that have taken place in your environment since you were born and compare them to what was expected before their advent. How many came on a schedule? Look into your own personal life, to your choice of profession, say, or meeting your mate, your exile from your country of origin, the betrayals you faced, your sudden enrichment or impoverishment. How often did these things ocuur according to plan?

Nabaztag is the first rabbit (ever) connected to the Internet. Plug it in, and he’ll connect to your wi-fi router. Then you give him a name on the nabaztag site and you choose the services you want him to perform. Read your e-mails, blogs, twitter, postcards and podcasts? Be your wake up clock? No problem. He speaks 5 languages, can read websites in 16 languages, and reads ztamps that connect him to any object in your home… Instead of sending boring text messages, friends and lovers can put on a show: send you a song, an order (‘Stop working now, and join us for a drink’), or indicate their mood by having the Nabaztag move his ears and shine his build in moodlights. when a shiny rabbit tells you in a funny voice that your stocks went down and the air quality in your part of the city sucks, it’s just a bit easier to take it all in. Nabaztag is the first of a generation of wi-fi connected companions that are not only usefull, but also fun and able to charm you with it’s personality.

The brand new U3-X from Honda takes self balancing unicycling to another level. A creepy-sterile, awesomely futuristic Honda level, to be precise. what makes the U3-X particularly interesting is it has the regular large wheel of a unicycle, but that wheel is actually made up of several small wheels in a series, which can rotate independently, meaning that the device can go forward, backward, side-to-side and diagonally, all being controlled with a simple lean. Right now the ‘experimental model’ of the U3-X gets a single hour of battery, with a seat and foot rests that fold into the device for extra portability. No word on when the thing might make it to market. Check the video of the U3-X in action on www.thelistmag.com.

It has shoulders like a smoking jacket, amber coloured like a deliciously chic and timeless evening dress, bearing it’s label like a flag with a proud and deliberately ostentatious air: the Cointreau bottle. Now the quintessentially French bottle is taken up by the most American French woman around: Catherine Malandrino. The result is a limited edition bottle inspired by the Statue of Liberty. The silhouette remains unchanged, but a lacework of finely chased metal now embraces the bottle like the finest ‘dentelle’ and the logo appears in a starry paste jewelry version. The signature of Catherine Malandrino appears on the bottle as it might on a personal invitation to a fashion show… A must-have collector’s item.

Kris Kuksi’s art treats morbidity with a sympathetic touch and symbolizes the paradox of the death of the individual by objective personiďŹ cation of death. There is a fear of this consciousness because it drops in upon us without mercy, and yet there is a need to appeal to it in order to provide a sense of security, however deluded that sense may be. The amazing detail, humour and neo futuristic references in his work provide for hours of viewing pleasure and marvel.

Raz*war’s idea is born in the mind of Pierre De Nayer who was feeling robbed each time he was buying razor blades at the supermarket. He believes everyone willing to shave should be able to do so at an affordable price with the high level of quality the skin deserves. So he started selling razor subscriptions. The razor revolution starts with this El Ché razor handle.

For guys who think cleanliness is next to girliness, Lucky Tiger may just be the tonic. Lucky Tiger’s roots go back to 1935 and the orginal corner barbershop. By the 1950s, Lucky Tiger became the most popular barbershop brand in all America. And now they’re the latest in a growing niche of skin-care products that might be called newstalgics. Lucky Tiger is a premium line of men’s grooming basics that stands for a time when men were sophisticated, slightly devilish, impeccably presented and ready for anything.

BOOK
As the late twentieth-century fascination with rounded shapes, organic influences, and plastics fades, interior designers are increasingly drawn to deep colours, polished woods, velvets, furs, leather, dark metals, and brick – materials used liberally in the past – that have a nostalgic quality. Efforts to shape a less austere present by creating an idealized version of the past have begun to appear in commercial and residential design throughout the country and abroad. Dark Nostalgia presents over twenty-five projects that exemplify the smooth incorporation of evocative historic detail into current interiors.

These unique screwdrivers made in a small London workshop, are copies of two originals made by a cabinet maker who was unable to find a set of modern tipped screwdrivers that met his requirements for quality, comfort and simplicity. The handles are made from beech and are finished by dipping in linseed oil. The natural wood surface is pleasant to hold and unlike varnished or rubberised handles, will not encourage blisters. The initial matt appearance will darken with age and become polished with use. The No.1 handles are fitted with solid brass ferrules. The screwdrivers are packaged in specially designed boxes. Each screwdriver is guaranteed against manufacturing defects.
