Why iPhone names have numbers and most other Apple product names don’t 
Apple wants people who are buying new iPhones that were first introduced 2–3 years ago to feel like they’re getting a new iPhone. They should, because they are — they’re great devices at lower prices, and will be supported for years to come. But if the iPhone XR were named “iPhone (2018)”, it’d feel old.

Writing in Public

"Here’s how I think about writing in public: you have to weigh the importance of feeling safe with the importance of being known. My therapist once described writing as a way for me to gain control over how I am seen (insert joke about the “being perceived” meme). I agree with that: instead of relying on someone else to narrativize my life or offer an observation about me, I use writing as a way to assert my own narrative. It’s how I remain more subject than object, how I maintain conviction in my own agency. Writing in public is a way to get constant feedback—to prove to myself that what I’m writing is worth something to someone."

The Killers + Bruce Springsteen

Even before he duetted with Brandon Flowers on this new version of 2008’s “A Dustland Fairytale,” you could hear Bruce Springsteen in the Killers’ music. “The good old days, the honest man, the restless heart, the promised land,” Flowers sang 15 years ago, in one of the band’s best songs, as if fast-forwarding through Springsteen’s songbook to summon him like Beetlejuice. Back then, Flowers spoke about wanting to write his generation’s Born to Run. Instead, he wrote anthems about wanting to write Born to Run, and a sea of fans saw themselves in his wild, passionate pursuit of greatness – Read More via Pitchfork

Frances Forever – Paranoia Party
This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. Feels like an indy version of Olivia Rodrigo. The production and the way it builds is very good.

The Picasso Way

In 1945, Pablo Picasso created "The Bull," a series of 11 lithographs that took a month to create. In the early stages, you can see the bull is very realistic – details show the bull with a snout and hooves, but with each successive print, the details disappear and the bull's form is deconstructed and simplified. The last image is completely abstract and contains only a curved stick figure that still resembles a bull.

Picasso's goal was to "find the spirit of the beast."

In one of Apple's internal training, the 11 lithographs are shown to employees as an example of how the company communicates and builds products. The idea is that a great work of art is created by eliminating non-essential details and striving for simplicity – find the essence of what you are creating. Design helps you express and communicate this essence. 

In a class at the company’s internal training program, an Apple University instructor compared the 11 lithographs of Picasso’s “The Bull” to the way Apple builds its smartphones and other devices. The idea: Apple designers strive for simplicity just as Picasso eliminated details to create a great work of art. Simplicity has always been at the core of Apple and you can see this iterative approach when you look at the history of their product design.
