I stopped by the capsule towers a few times while living in tokyo...it still looked wild in person but a little run down (perhaps that's why they took it down)

I checked out Books of Wonder for the first time today, the oldest independent children's book store in NYC. Such a cool shop. I like how they organized books by concepts.

So I know muji has an insulated plastic bottle water holder which makes sense given the popularity of vending machines in Japan. Has anyone made a similar insulated container for takeout bubble tea? www.muji.us/products/kee...

I got to go to the Printed Matter Art Book Fair today (first time I went to an event in the city after having a baby!). Since I had been in 2018 and 2019 when I previously lived in the city, it was awesome to get to experience it again at MOMA PS1.

added to the clock collection with a Hay clock (Jasper Morrison). I like how the face is nice and big and easy to read, but the build quality is not as high as I was hoping (very plasticky feeling)

I always wondered what made some nuts fancy, but only looked it up now. According to the usda, it comes down to size and grade. I find the notion of quantifiable fanciness to be amusing

the best I ever saw was skylight where one of their employees created handdrawn book covers that were on their homepage. it really gave their website a handcrafted feel.

I know indie bookstores use the same platform to make their lives easier, but it's kind of a bummer to see every bookstore have the same carousel UI on every site.

on the site, you can look up publishers and their guidelines for getting approved for advance copies - for example, this is a detailed one from knopf, which basically wants it to be clear you are a literary influencer

Never had a need for the shortcuts app previously but started creating some simole ones to add custom audio commands. So far I have to connect to my external speaker and play music, one to open an app, and one for unit conversion
