• The branding of the presidents is total type candy.
• This essay on how to move to New York isn’t what you’d expect to hear and that makes it even more poignant. “The idea of “making it” was everywhere, and I needed to avoid it. I’d moved to the supposed greatest city in the world in order to spend seventy-two hours at a time insulated and solitary, developing an allergy to people and a near-romantic attachment to Netflix.”
• Here’s why you should take your 20′s seriously.
• How do you keep creating and running your business when you’re depressed?
• I’ve posted this before but in case you missed it, Art Of The Menu is a great design resource.

• Hermes products, especially their bags, are outrageously expensive. We hear about craftsmanship all the time, but to see it is another story.
• What do some of the most iconic moments in history look like when colorized?
