Heads Up!

There’s no doubt that an app designed by one of the best icon designers on the web is also one of the greatest games ever to hit the App Store. Words cannot describe how much fun this game is. I highly recommend you download it, watch Ellen Degeneres announce it as her game, play with friends, and have as much fun as you could ever have with an iPhone.

There’s a common attribute that makes for good designers, good engineers, good employees, and good companies. For a long time, I couldn’t figure out what it was. Was it practice? Was it skill? Was it innate ability? Turns out, it’s none of those. It’s taste.

Heck, thanks to them, you could make your own yourself.

From the moment he exited the airport, he knew for sure.
The boy knew that this was no mere holiday destination.

A brilliant, well-written encounter of my holiday. Well, his holiday, but nonetheless, I felt the same. Go and have a read.

Get Lucky

It’s been 6 years since their latest LP, and like the legend of the phoenix, Daft Punk rises disco music back from the ashes— and it is groovy.

“Boarding”

The flight back home was less enjoyable than the flight back home.

Remove all the space within the atoms making up the human body, and every person that’s ever lived would fit inside a baseball.
