Amazing video, but even more fascinating is how it evolved with the help of a computer program.
"Fifteen hundred legs with rods of random length were generated in the computer. It then assessed which of these approached the ideal walking curve. Out of the 1500, the computer selected the best 100. These were awarded the privilege of reproduction. Their rods were copied and combined into 1500 new legs. These 1500 new legs exhibited similarities with their parent legs and once again were assessed on their resemblance to the ideal curve. This process went through many generations during which the computer was on for weeks, months even, day and night. It finally resulted in eleven numbers denoting the ideal lengths of the required rods. The ultimate outcome of all this was the leg of Animaris Currens Vulgaris" - http://www.strandbeest.com/beests_leg.php

The technique is called stop frame animation and inherently has a bit of camera/object jitter. Apple could have eliminated this but it is more authentic to keep the retro-styling and hand made vibe together with the theme of the creativity. For a great stop frame animation example check out Gondry's music video for the white stripes made with legohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTH71AAxXmM

Middleman has a little known WYSIWYG blog editor extension that focuses on easy content creation and editing. It is a paid extension but it does address the points raised in the article http://middleman-blog-editor.awardwinningfjords.com

We (Sendicate) agree with your points. We have templates that automatically resize images, use readable fonts and colors, emphasize text and readability on mobile (even with multiple columns and dynamic layouts). We also automatically create a plain-text version without re-writing links for tracking. We have learnt from the mistakes of others and tried to solve the problems you describe. Email can be horrible, but it doesn't have to be.
The good news is that you can decide how to view your emails. For Apple Mail try running "defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool true"

Why is it any worse than HTML web sites? ;-P But seriously, doesn't it depend on the implementation just like everything else?

This is fantastic!
I simply created 3 graphs based on email client data featuring a dendogram, circular dendogram, and circular packing. It charts the relationship of OS, device type, email client type, and client name. http://minus.com/m5VsIg2QvP2R3
