The icon for iCal is a simple reference to the launch date of the app. It was revealed by Jobs on July 17th at the 2002 Macworld Expo in 2002. You can watch that keynote, at which Apple also launched OS X 10.2 Jaguar, here. (via The interesting secret stories behind 10 Apple icons - The Next Web)

Colourful messages transform the winding favela streets
Earlier this year Boa Mistura, an urban art collective formed in Madrid, worked on a vibrant community project near São Paulo, Brazil
The collective worked with the children and other residents of Brasilândia Vila, a poor suburb on the outskirts of São Paulo, to fill the narrow streets with colour and words: beleza, amor, doçura, firmeza and orgulho (beauty, love, sweetness, firmness and pride).
These one-point perspective messages are carefully painted to reveal themselves to passers-by as they reach a certain part of the the street. The smiles of the participants clearly say it all.
