Monocle & Jony Ive

Since visiting the Monocle café last weekend, I’ve been re-inspired by the space, but also the magazine, its radio, and its editorial pieces. I’m seriously considering subscribing again.

So as I make up my mind, it was a joy to discover this article on Jony Ive, LoveFrom, published on the day of possibly the biggest announcement in about a decade, in the Tech Industry

Auto-generated description: The webpage features an interview article about Jony Ive, along with a cityscape image, an illustration of a man, and advertisements for Monocle Radio and a watch.

I’ve got newfound respect for Jonathan Claus:

Just because discrimination doesn’t concern you, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to it. I haven’t experienced racism, but I’m still interested in saying it’s not cool for the people who suffer it.

“Kyle Goon: The Baltimore ‘O!’ is about community pride. Don’t lecture us about it.”

We’re here, we’re proud of the place we live, and we want it to thrive. (…) The “O!” is a Baltimore thing. It’s a Maryland thing. It’s about a shared identity and community that we’re all rooting for, which is patriotic in and of itself.

Really excited by this new “Top Class” Euroleague series of Panini trading cards!

First time that we get this in Europe, and the quality is superb: great card thickness (I’m used to less from Topps), the images are very high quality, and the holographs and graphic details look stunning!

Now to get my Paris Basketball cards signed…
