It has been a few years since I was out on my bicycle that my bottle was ice and that I couldn’t shift anymore. Think the last time was winter 2013. Today it happened again at -5°C☀️🌬️❄️🥶

Managed to get an old Craft 3 site to Craft 4 and today to @craftcms.com version 5. All done via Terminal and overcoming DDEV hiccups along the way. A small step for devs but a huge one for a simple designer like me. The step from 4 to 5 was actually easier and without hiccups. Go Me 😁

March of 1966, Paul Rand finished his Ford logo presentation. Inspirational to read how he pitched it.

“It should be clear and concise, with a kind of beauty and precision which flow not from the quill, but from the compass and ruling pen.”
