Alex Lindahl has a nice post today about Spindle Law on OpenEconomist, a still new, but already interesting blog on open innovation models—open source, crowdsourcing, social production, and the like.  He does a very good job explaining our project and, on the business side, compares our model to Jigsaw’s, which makes a lot of sense.

Very nice post about Spindle Law by Jason Mendelson of Foundry Group on Mendelson’s Musings.

The artist Dustin Shuler passed away earlier this month in Los Angeles at the age of 61.  Famous for creating the Spindle sculpture (pictured below), Mr. Shuler was, by all accounts, an iconoclast, and to many a visionary.  Needless to say, we honor him as a fellow Spindler.  Here’s the Spindle (before it was dismantled allegedly to make room for a drugstore):

For the record, the cars impaled on the Spindle, from top to bottom, were:

1. A red Volkswagen Beetle,
2. A silver BMW,
3. A blue Ford Escort,
4. A green Mercury Capri,
5. A white Ford Mustang,
6. A maroon Pontiac Grand Prix,
7. A yellow Ford LTD, and
8. A black Mercury Grand Marquis.
