Just swiping through Uncrate’s mini slideshow of this joint in Hawaii and adding it to the travel bucket list.

Atlanta’s High Museum of Art lends insight to the history plus also tips on hanging your own dense wall of art. Sidenote: when I’ve a huge space I shall enlist the help of FrameShop to frame and hang it all. They have such good instincts there.

Mostly music charts, but there‘s Apple News, dev info and movie trailers too. / via Luke Dorny

I was enamored by the drone shot of this park, but the more I see the more I want to go to there.

I see these shapes all over design these days and I think it’s fun. But definitely a pattern. Elizabeth Goodspeed has other nice collections of the moment, like Squishy Type, Picture in Picture and Stack.

Cincinnati Magazine collects a list of sixteen places that serve fried chicken in the Queen City. Saving to explore later!

The largest LED screen in the world is also a sphere. Fittingly in Vegas. It looks bonkers.

First thing that brightened my morning was seeing this little van. / via Seth

Enjoyed wandering through Ellen’s work (and this collaboration with Saft Rodeo). Brightened up a lovely rainy morning. / via New Commute

Verdun Cook, U&lc, vol. 2, no. 1, The International Typeface Corporation, New York, 1975

Cabel Sasser collected oodles of “Backstage Disneyland” newsletters distributed to Disney park employees (cast members), scanned them in (really well) and uploaded to the Internet Archive. Worth it for the covers but when you dig into each issue it is a gargantuan trove of inspiration, visually and content-wise.

 Robin Rendle on updating and maintaining a personal website and considering the details, like type, but also just all the things.

Nicholas Rougeux’s (glorious) reproduction of Oliver Byrne’s celebrated work from 1847 with interactive diagrams, posters and more. / relink via (in a roundabout way) Jim Nielsen on spacial Safari and good ol’ semantic, accessible HTML

An amusing use for artificial intelligence

Volunteers complete craft projects that loved ones have left behind. Heard about this on NPR and immediately thought of the pile of quilts my mom left pieced together but not finished.

Hank Green on investing in connection to others and yourself. / via Andy Baio

French illustrator and designer Justine Jossart created products featuring anxiety and phobias to sell and get rid of them for good. / via FontsInUse

The problem facing modern man now (the reconciliation of intellect and feelings/brain and heart/rational and irrational/mind and spirit/etc. etc.) is compounded by the increasing power of technology and its misuse by those in power who wish only to control. 

There are less than fifty working analog photo booths remaining in the world and FotoAutomat is working to restore and maintain more (and they're each restored to their delightful original design). How fun would it be to visit all of them? / via Present & Correct

There are so many neato things about visionOS. One I’m most excited about is removing the boundaries of interfaces to be more transparent and a part of the environment with less cruft. May it trickle down across all the OSes and computing experiences!

Stephan Ango’s optimistic thoughts on sensory computing paired with the just announced Apple Vision Pro.

Dig the breadth, diversity and cross-section of websites, articles and books covering a bevy of design topics. / via DJ

Stumbled on this video by Neal Foard and immediately dug his vibe and what he’s sharing. This story and parable will inspire deeper exploration of his online footprint.

Thanks to Tina I’m adding Miss Ada Restaurant to the list next time in Brooklyn, and filing away this recipe for the future, and by future I mean as soon as possible

Shantell Martin and and Arrow Type teamed up to transform her handwriting into a 5-axis variable weight font where you can adjust weight, italic, spacing, informality and bounce.

Doug Wilson is expanding his interest and knowledge of Linotype into a book. If it is anything like the film he was a part of it’ll be excellent.

Tina Roth-Eisenberg of CreativeMornings chats with Guy Raz on the How I Built This podcast and it is a delightful listen. I always catch new angles when Tina shares her story.

I'll truly believe it when I see one on the road, but the vehicle of my dreams as a youth is almost to these shores. I'm glad to read the third row can be removed entirely. It’s still a year away from US dealerships. (2024)

Swipe through favorite websites or shake for random fun. This looks like an extra fun way to browser the web. / via Daring Fireball

These tiny paintings are delightful.

Andy J Pizza & Sophie Miller have a book coming out that puts visuals and words to some of the invisible things that make up the human experience. At first blush, it’s a kids book, but there’s a kid in most of us. (Unfortunately, some are still bullies, but whatever!)

Arc just leapfrogged every browser with Boost, a way to customize how websites look and ”zap” features you don't like.

MSCHF exploits a dumb government loophole that allows for robocalls as long as a human initiates them. Now you can help raise money and awareness to lobby against them by firing up a ton of spam calls.

I’ve had oodles of buttons produced by Busy Beaver (they do fantastic work). I didn't realize they’ve also made a book and started a button museum. Fun. / via Grace

Another lovely Ironic Sans newsletter filled with a bevy of steps to remove yourself from all those annoying piece of mail no one wants. I've spent the last 15 minutes or so going through the list and opting out all over!

Streaming now! 500 indie songs with original DJs from 97X. Been enjoying it all morning and will dip my toes in the looping broadcast throughout the week.

I don't golf, but I love the notch-less belt I got here. I count it among my better investments in life. (Got the “Bubba” but they have oodles of variants.)

A little funky yearning medley to close out the week. Just stumbled on this tune and now need to dig back into her back catalog (which is not deep, she’s 27!) Oh, I know Photo ID.

Create, remix, add interactivity and share isometric voxel room things/games. Neato. / via waxy

Admission, I never was good at CSS. I made things with tables and visual editors. But the CSS Zen Garden taught me how to see, understand and articulate CSS. Dave Shea reflects a bit on how important it was (and still is). I'm linking to Andrew Lohman’s contribution, but really the joy is in clicking around the archives at how others re-interpret the page!

I superdig Danielle MacInnes’ take on documentary style family photography, which I didn’t know was a thing until I got lost in the stack of links on this MetaFilter post: Don’t Say Cheese.

Watched two great Vox explainers this morning. One about inflation and this video about why nearsightedness is on the rise, and how it can be addressed.

Hipgnosis made extremely iconic album covers. This is the trailer for a film about this art design studio. / thanks Tom!

Naz Hamid gathers some perspectives on his birthday. Resonating this morning is “opt for joy, delight, or energy.”

Matched with the original songs. Fun to get more insight to this Beasties album, a favorite among many.

Loved the bit on Jacobi’s home page that lists fridge-worthy moments (some with links to fill in the gaps). Filing this as inspiration to consider in reflection and also looking forward!

Jacobi Mehringer has created a massive library of film techniques for art directors. It’s amazing. / via Yewknee

New Order shares the story of how the song came to be.

That also happens to be a commercial for the Nissan ARIYA. / via Tim Murtaugh

Merlin Bird ID is free app by Cornell Lab that can identify birds by sound. Noah Kalina said (on a non-bird app that doesn’t allow deep links) “It will change your life and how you experience the natural world.”

Ground cover, wildflower meadows, and gravel gardens require little to no effort to thrive and are beneficial to our ecosystem. I'd love to convert our lawn. / via Kathryn

Scott Boms collects fourteen communications from technology company CEOs who have reduced their employee bases in a 100 edition hand assembled, Risograph’d book

Phil Edwards shares history of the initiative that brought identity standards to government institutions.

Unite Apple Photos and Lightroom? I’m intrigued... This Mac app also supports most every major photo platform. (They also have a tool to port libraries around.) / via Phil Gyford

Surprised no movie has been filmed in this mid-70’s library at Northern Kentucky University. As Ronnie Salerno shares, it really would fit right into the Starfleet Academy.

Thanks to this post on MetaFilter I learned of this new PSB music.

Well, the midsection at least. A well done illusion en plein air in New York City. A delightful distraction at the end of this week.

I can't tell if TimeOut perpetually updates this (extensive) list, but it seems that way. / tipping my hat to Thor (who I consider a Thorguide all on his own.)

Choose from dawn, morning, evening, environmental or weather. Good backdrop for zoning out or in. / via MetaFilter
