Inspired By #78
✨ Welcome to a new issue of Inspired By. Here’s all the cool stuff I’ve come across this past month. ✨
❣️ Kokoro
Kokoro is a high contrast display serif with a pinch of quirkiness (used in this issue's header). Kokoro’s personality varies from very calm and distinctive italic forms all the way to a more lively and edgy non-italic look and feel, which brings the youthful energy of a punk-rock kid from the block.

🐻 The Bear
A young chef from the fine dining world comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop after a heartbreaking death in his family. As Carmy fights to transform both the shop and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges kitchen crew that ultimately reveals itself as his chosen family.
Loved this series! It has interesting characters and dialogue and it gave me a renewed appreciation for people that work in kitchens.
Here’s the trailer:

🚙 Make My Drive Fun
What a cool roadmap tool! It will generate a driving route between two cities and then it will attempt to find any of the 12,000 novelty features that are within 20 minutes driving distance of the route. These are then sorted, collated, and displayed on the web page. Made by Zack Scholl back in 2017.

⚡️ Same Energy
Same Energy is a visual search engine. You can use it to find beautiful art, photography, decoration ideas, or anything else. Same Energy's core search uses "deep learning".
The default feeds available on the home page are algorithmically curated: a seed of 5-20 images are selected by hand, then our system builds the feed by scanning millions of images in our index to find good matches for the seed images. You can create feeds in just the same way: save images to create a collection of seed images, then look at the recommended images.
Thanks for reading and until next time!
