New episode of Cortex is out today!

It was such a pleasure to speak to Loryn Brantz about the creative process behind her poetry and illustration.

This is a very different conversation to the ones I have had so far.

Enjoy!

With just 10 days to go in our Kickstarter campaign, I wanted to try and share a little bit about how I am feeling.

It’s been a really great WWDC week.

Was great to see friends, work on exciting projects, and see where my next few months will go.

Until next time!

Here are my thoughts on the announcements from WWDC keynote yesterday, and my observation of the ‘WWDC Glow’

https://www.theenthusiast.net/that-wwdc-glow/

I’m currently on my way to Cupertino to attend WWDC at Apple Park, while the Kickstarter for Designed in California is heading towards $150,000 raised.

Feeling very grateful today.

All month we are posting preview episodes of Designed in California to the Upgrade feed, so you can get a preview of what the show will feel like when we launch it to the world!

We posted the first of our series on the ‘Road to the Apple II’ today!

I feel like it’s very hard to describe the amount of tired you can feel when something so all-encompassing is happening to you so fast.

Our Kickstarter passed $100k today.

I started my day feeling so overwhelmed with the support you’re showing Designed in California.

Jason and I work so hard every week to make Upgrade the best it can be. I like to believe that this has helped you all believe in what we can do.

We are going to do the same for this show.
