Google certainly doesn’t shine through the most creative approach to designing digital products, but they aren’t lacking any imagination when it comes to making a workplace more fun. I’m really in love with what they did at their Zurich Headquarters. So many new and interesting ideas for a workspace. Check out the subway station themed room; instantly made me think of New York.
Another wonderful commencement address, this time by screenwriter and producer Aaron Sorkin. (via Wilson Minor)Decisions are made by those who show up. Don’t ever forget that you’re a citizen of this world and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day. Civility, respect, kindness, character. You’re too good for schadenfreude, you’re too good for gossip and snark, you’re too good for intolerance—and since you’re walking into the middle of a presidential election, it’s worth mentioning that you’re too good to think people who disagree with you are your enemy.

If you are not afraid of having my face fill half of your screen, you should head over to I Love Typography and read an interview Allen Tan did with me a while ago. We talk about the production process and, in particular, what thoughts went into finding the fonts used in Offscreen, Calluna and Cyclone. Humbled to be on such a well-known source for type-nerds.
If, like myself, you are a regular reader of Monocle, take a closer look at the Media section this month to see me answering a few quick questions about Offscreen and why I started the magazine. Humbled to be in such a great publication. :)
