Now with Alan Dye gone, I feel finally the energy to come out with my own convoluted demands.
Bring back Hartmut Esslinger as Lead Hardware Designer to fix Apple’s bad hardware design.

So amazing. I've always felt Hartmut Esslinger's (frogdesigndesign) design prototype, the Apple FlatMac, is one of the most impressive prototypes of them all. I was fascinated upon first seeing it in the book _Appledesign_.

For me, the keys are the magic here!

Tinkerer brings this retro-futuristic Mac concept to life

A designer's new remake of the 1984 Apple FlatMac concept looks and works just like the real thing. And his video shows every step he took.

For today's #MARCHintosh post, I share a gallery of Apple industrial design prototypes put on display at frog design at the time of Steve Jobs' death. These images were shared with my by erstwhile denizen of DALnet's #macintosh IRC channel, Dan Lieberman, formerly of frog design.

Things I found while consolidating and purging a backup drive: Scans of 1980's Apple sketches and prototypes from the "Snow White" Frog era. Absolutely adore this design language.

Today was my last day at frog (https://www.frog.co/). Here's an excerpt from my goodbye email that sums up my feelings pretty well:

"frog was my dream job for 7 years before I actually joined, and it’s been my dream job for almost 16 years since. But now that dream has been fulfilled. Next week, I will have a new job, but frog will always and forever have been my dream job."

Thank you frog.
