Dearest internet friends,

Welcome to this week's instalment of what’s hot in life & leisure.

Much love ☼

Hot Hyperlinks

☼ Scheming how I can become much more like this guy who quit his job, moved to a small Caribbean island and now scoots around in a little boat.

☼ What if your inbox told a story about who you talk to, where you’ve been and how you feel?

☼ It's officially time to scrap QR codes and bring back concert tickets that look like these.

☼ Wellness report: Can analogue living cure digital burnout in 2025?

☼ Six must-read books on power couples who shaped architecture, art, and design.

Hotter Hyperlinks

Hand picked with the utmost care exclusively for the most fervent leisure enthusiasts…

☼ Strongly believe I’d be at least 137% more productive if my workspace looked like this minimalist masterpiece by Isern Serra.

☼ I like where Opera are going with this wellness-driven browser with neck exercises, guided meditations and mindful breaks.

☼ Forever obsessed with the work of Love Hultén—especially this custom synth he made for a 1985 Aston Martin Lagonda.

☼  Use this portable clamshell keyboard by Justin Mitchell to write whenever inspiration strikes. Catch me on a sun lounger with one of these sat on my Vacation® Chardonnay Oil-lathered belly, writing every future episode of The Palm Report.

☼ This new project by DIYR looks like art, but it’s actually an ultra-thin speaker.

☼ Martin Parr is responsible for some of the most iconic photos of the last century. And there’s a wonderful new documentary about his life and work.

Until next time!

See you online ☼
