Ordinary people. The courage to say no.

The photo was taken in Hamburg in 1936, during the celebrations for the launch of a ship. In the crowd, one person refuses to raise his arm to give the Nazi salute. The man was August Landmesser. He had already been in trouble with the authorities, having been sentenced to two years hard labor for marrying a Jewish woman.

We know little else about August Landmesser, except that he had two children. By pure chance, one of his children recognized her father in this photo when it was published in a German newspaper in 1991. How proud she must have been in that moment.

This beautiful Steampunk Mac built by Steve La Riccia uses outfits a classic Macintosh with a well-done aesthetic overhaul and a keyboard pulled from a 114-year-old Remington typewriter. This is cooler than Apple’s new thin and light MacBooks, iMacs and iPads, isn’t it?
