Cracked open Acorn to come up with a new wordmark for Apple:

The word 'Apple' with an uppercase I replacing the lowercase L, with both the A and I in black with the remaining letters in grey

Yes, I know I’ve got work to do. 😜

Working with PostgreSQL is an absolute joy. Such an amazing database. Just goes to show that the fun tech out there is not always the new and shiny. The battled hardened, featureful, bread-and-butter tools that tends to get overlooked can be just as good (Linux falls into that category as well).

Created using Vintage Logo: a poster with a vintage car and the headline ā€˜PostgreSQL’ and sub-headline ā€˜Still Effin’ Amazing’.

If Slack’s looking for features to add, my vote would be for personal “annotation” messages in threads, similar to what Hey mail has. Many a time I receive a support request as a Slack thread, and it’d be nice to add notes such as customer IDs as a message that only I can see.

Here’s a mockup:

A concept mock-up of a Slack thread showing interaction between a support person and the author, with the private note message highlighted in yellow with the disclosure 'only visible to you'

Edit: I knew I talked about this before. And looking through On This Day, I found this post, where I professed my wish for FastMail to add the same feature. Probably a good hint that such a feature should be table steaks for any system involving other people.

Playing around with Vintage Logo this morning. HT to @odd and @mandaris for posting a link to this iOS app. They’ve got some very nice logo templates here, including this art deco one featuring a bird in flight.

Used it to make this logo, which I call: lodgings for the evening.
