Hello, 

It's Saturday morning again!
Here's a few more nice things to grace your inbox with along with some over used superlatives. Hope you had a good week without too much stress and are enjoying the sunshine, safely of course! 

Ogmios School of Zen Motoring
Remember driving? 12 minutes of pure zen joy of driving around London (better than it sounds).
Thanks David.

Need a deep read to pass some time today?
A magic Wikipedia link that serves a random high quality vetted article each time. I love the idea that anyone reading the email won't get the same thing to read. Via Twitter.

68 bits of unsolicited advice 
Kevin Kelly turns 68 and offers some really sound bits of advice for us all. I will refrain from quoting any here. 

Out my window by Gail Albert Halaban 
The most incredible set of images, found via Twitter. So much love for this. 

The importance of set design in Hitchcock's Rear Window
Gail's work reminded me of my love of this film and how enjoyable it is. All the action and suspense takes place in one set. A masterpiece of cinema, please watch it if you haven't seen it. 

Empty sets
100 BBC set backgrounds from the archives to give your video calls a make over. Thanks Jim. Personally I'd choose the Only Fools and Horses living room scene. 

That squiggle of the design process
Wonderful! Articulating what we all know happens with design - a complete shit show at first to something resolved (hopefully). Love how well this squiggle captures this. There's also a website dedicated to it.

How long will a vaccine really take?
I've tried to keep this a covid free zone generally but this from the New York Times is fascinating, especially with the graphics which show the scale of the challenge. 

Finding endless video calls exhausting? 
I'm fascinated with this and how we all struggle from the lack of visual cues that in-person meetings give. Video calls are really exhausting! 

midmodplus
One of my favourite accounts on Instagram documenting 50-70s buildings. Some really wonderful examples and loads and loads of history in the text to go with each image.  

Have a lovely weekend and see you next week.

Love as always, Andy x
