Since we spend a ridiculous amount of time on our phone, we might as well doing something fun with it. Chris Silverman, my friend and an extraordinary illustrator, draws #notesArt everyday. It is amazing how he uses tools that were intended for annotating documents to draw his incredible artworks. Check out the gallery as well as a short video about the project.

A weekly zine published by Dipika Kohli. She writes:

The discovery started me on a lifelong track to go and seek the new and the different, no matter how far I had to venture. I wanted to pick up pieces of everywhere, things I felt truly resonated with me. So it began. What if I could personally go and meet people in new (to me) places, see what their lives were like, befriend one or two, get to build trust and try, if not perfectly, but try, to hear and see the way they were hearing and seeing?

After reading Nathan Heller’s “The End of the English Major” in The New Yorker, I want to pursue a graduate degree in English just for the humanities of it. I just looked up Mason’s MA in English and the concentration in professional and technical writing appeals to me. Since I love reading and writing and I can get free tuitions, why not? My wife disagreed. The kids are my priority. She’s right.

Klim released Family, an everyday typeface based on Clearface—originally designed by Morris Fuller and Linn Boyd Benton. Of course, a new font family comes with an in-depth essay by Kris Sowersby. Worth a read for type nerds.

The people of Ukraine are putting their lives on the line to defend their country, freedom, and democracy. You are sitting here stressed out about your damn mundane life. Get a grip, motherfucker.

I used to rock CK & DKNY. These days I rock AE (Amazon Essentials).

Congratulations to Marcin Wichary. His monumental, two-volume, 1,216-page Shift Happens: A book about keyboards is being backed for almost half a million dollars. He has been working on this book for many years; therefore, he definitely deserves it. It will be a great book. If you can afford it, go back it. It’s a bit of a luxury for me. By the way, check out the conversation with Robin Rendle about the book. I have followed Robin’s writing for a while now. It was nice to hear his voice.
