Dearest internet friends,

It is my pleasure to announce that the new Poolsuite app on iOS and (finally) Android are launching in the next couple of weeks. They're reaaaallllly beautiful and I can't wait for you all to see what the team's been cooking. Our new website will be dropping at the same time. Premium subscribers — there's an early access link below for you to get a beta version of the new app.

But first, let's swan dive into this week's instalment of what’s hot in life & leisure.

Much love ☼
Marty

☼ I’m not afraid to admit that I spent a good few hours down the rabbit hole of the BMW archive. 

☼ The Light Phone 3 is now in production and looks excellent. I'm more excited about what it doesn't have than what it does. It doesn't have email, a single social media app, or a browser. It does have a camera, maps, calls and music. Huge respect to the team for their opinionated approach to creating a beautiful, mindful tech product. In their own words: "Simple devices with quality tools, designed to be used as little as possible".

☼ Who saves New York's iconic signs when a business shuts down?

☼ My perfect beach day would look a lot like these vintage photos of Oahu beaches, Hawaii in the 1970s. 

☼  More people should be doing wild shit with their life like opening an airplane cafe.

☼ I, for one, am delighted to report that glass bricks are back. About time.

☼ Watch this micro-documentary about how Artist, Guadalupe Maravilla, turned a school bus into a healing sound installation.

☼ This minimalist, no-arm player from Waiting for Ideas is practically an alter for vinyl. 

☼ Our very own Emily recently launched her lifestyle brand, Nabnian. Check it out here and follow along on Instagram here.

☼ Aki Hamada Architects’ Floating Wood series transforms real tree trunks into 3D-scanned, biodegradable table legs, preserving their natural forms while allowing them to rotate freely.

☼ Pro tips: How to reignite your career in mid-life and beyond. 

☼ How to take an internet walk.

☼ The House for Almost Everything by Comte/Meuwly: "the prototype of a reactive living space: a construction able to negotiate with external parameters such as weather conditions or seasonal fluctuations, while transforming itself according to the activities it hosts, from a more intimate house to a generous gathering space".

Until next time!

See you online ☼
