I’ve found a number of great templates so far, with this being another. I like the simplicity of this one. It’d be great if you could try before you buy, though.

This is one lengthy gift guide, but there are some great last minute items in here.

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. SlotMonkey casino

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.
