I wonder why many new products give me a sign up option only via my Google account. Their product has nothing to do with Google products, and since they are new, we have massive trust issue here. I never sign up and I am sure others too decide not to sign up. Totally a missed opportunity for them.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Design does not depend on the culture. Design survives and thrives in spite of the culture. Design is about the culture of designing even in the absence of culture for upholding our standards even if we are lonely because we are unforgiving in how limited-dimensional design hurts an entire chain.
