Something so simple, and already so good, just got even better. Design really is never finished, and that's the best part.

Despite its overhaul, Google Maps still has nothing on Apple Maps when it comes to street detail. This is the intersection of Broadway and 54th St in NYC, an area with a protected bike line, lane dividers, separated turning lanes, and specific "no-parking" zones. All visible on Apple Maps Meanwhile... you just get the road on Google Maps. Thats it. So much for the redesign. Road is Road.

📣 Brand new Apple Human Interface Guidelines! 📣 That’s right, we’ve completely redesigned the HIG to be more cross-platform, easier to search, and completely reorganized from high level design principles down to low-level component guidance.🧵 developer.apple.com/design/h…

The @Hyundai N Vision 74 is absolutely cool-looking in person. And exquisitely detailed.

Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There’s only make. This quote has been attributed to John Cage, when it is, in fact, from a list of principles for a class taught by artist and educator Sister Corita Kent in 1967-1968. Her principles for creativity follow.

And then, on the windy rugged west coast of Ireland, splintered by the Atlantic's persistence, punctuated by peninsulas, ports and plains, crowned by a wealth of beauty, hills and history, this happened.
Carrickfergus. Outside for a moment of sunshine today in the West coast of Ireland 🌤

In SF I learned: the best VCs don’t really know what’s going to take off. In LA I learned: the best producers don’t really know what’s going to be a hit. Don’t chase success. Create what you think should exist. No one knows until everyone knows–and by then it’s too late.
