Got writing this week about brands aren't logos, and aren't really something we control. They're something we create together with our customers. They're sort of symbiotic: https://wildfirestudios.ca/blog/studio-missive-34-your-brand-is-not-your-logo
Studio Missive 34: Your brand is not your logo

A brand isn't a logo. It's a rhetorical device you use to persuade the public to see your organization as who it is.

Confused as to what “IMAX” really means? I’m here to explain it.

What Does “IMAX” Mean?

Nobody:

Me: it’s insane that there is no proper Elden Ring sequel yet.

I'm currently reading Frank Herbert's "Dune" for the first time.

I was struck by this passage. It comes right after the Reverend Mother has tested Paul Atreides. She is talking with him.

"𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺."

How apropos seventy years later.

My friend and yours @rosyna is in dire straits. Any mutual aid or macOS/iOS contract work you can send along would be much appreciated.

I’m irrationally upset that the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR are dead. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I wanted them for so long, but they were never priced for me, and my career is finally going well enough that *maybe* I could justify products in their range, but NOPE, just gone.

What a bummer. Some dumb people at Apple killing the halo cars. I don’t get it.
