100w100d: Elegance

Day 29: Instagram introduced video to its app today and I’m still deciding if they have officially jumped the shark or not. I mentioned on Twitter that the semi-auto play function seemed clunky and not very elegant.

Then I took a step back and realized just how seldom I use that word — elegant, even though it’s such an crucial part of what I want my work and life to be. Beyond simply liking minimalism or paying attention to detail, elegance is ultimately what I’m striving for.

I wonder if there’s even a place for elegance in today’s flashy, Call-of-Duty world?
