All the designers I know from the early mobile design era in the 2000s are now investors, starting companies, or forming studios. The future of Lickable UI and high craft is essential in this next phase.

I can’t believe I didn’t know there was a John Madden biopic coming out with Nicholas Cage playing Madden and Christian Bale as Al Davis. The transformation is incredible. It’s directed by David O. Russell, and also Kathryn Hahn and Sienna Miller are in the cast!
