Dearest internet friends,

☼ I cannot stop thinking about this project… In 2021, New Zealand couple Frank Stark and Emma Bugden purchased a pool derelict public swimming pool (and adjacent hall and fire station), before bringing on Patchwork Architecture to transform it into a truly iconic home for their family. And yes, I absolutely am scouring Google Maps for every abandoned public pool in Europe right now.
☼ In 1983, Steve Jobs flipped the bird to IBM outside their NYC HQ. Now, you can bid on the leather bomber jacket he was wearing that day: “In December 1983, a few weeks before the Mac launch, we made a quick trip to New York City to meet with Newsweek, who was considering doing a cover story on the Mac. The photo was taken spontaneously as we walked around Manhattan by Jean Pigozzi, a wild French jet setter who was hanging out with us at the time” – Andy Hertzfeld
☼ My good friend Scott recently launched his own podcast, At Large, which I think a lot of you will enjoy: “At Large explores the many ways the creatives that have shaped our world navigate business and use commerce to scale their craft.” I especially enjoyed his episode #5 with Danielle Baskin titled titled Striking Internet Gold – I’ve been a fan of her eclectic online adventures for years.
