Apple has Mail, Calendar, Notes, and more. Google has Gmail, Calendar, Keep, and more. Notion has, well, Notion, Calendar, Mail, and more. And 37signals has Basecamp, HEY, HEY Calendar, and now Fizzy. Another one of those quirky, fun, and opinionated apps from the original Basecamp team.
Been awhile since I sent out a Fresh Link. But here goes. This may be the office of my dreams. Might just need a few personal items on that top shelf for the final touch.
My friend Josiah quickly pointed out the consistent typeface used in the New York City subway system during a recent trip (Helvetica, by the way). This Airport typeface is right up there. Consistent, legible from all distances. I’m not that into typefaces, but even I can see this work from Revolver Type is excellent.
I can’t pick at this point which design is better: this glossy black Leica M11 with matching Nocticron lens, or the Leica M10-P Ghost Edition for Hodinkee. I think you get away with less street conversations about the glossy black version. But isn’t that half the fun? I had more random folks walk up to me to ask about my Leica during our recent trip to NYC than all prior travels combined. I thought it was a unique way to connect with someone.
Maybe specifics aside (size, price, etc.), this may be my pick for the best-looking standing desk on the market right now.
I swear Batiste can see the notes floating past him, like Guitar Hero meets Mario Kart Rainbow Road or something. This is a magical display of the purest talent in the world. Or perhaps this young man is the purest talent in the world.
The best advice-givers are those who almost never give advice.
Really great work providing a simple, relatable device to portray the sheer scale in the photo. This is the difference between an amazing photo and a great photo.
I really like the desk design here. The decision to put the Mac and display in the corner is excellent. In some dreamworld where I get to design another office space, this article will place high on the inspiration list.
