Back in July, LA Art Center College of Design student Andrew Kim proposed a redesign of Microsoft branding. His idea, encapsulated on this website, went viral and Microsoft took notice. And hired him.

Yes. Microsoft has hired Andrew Kim. Of the news, Kim wrote, “I’ll be designing for Microsoft as of summer. I promise that I’ll make the my greatest work ever while I’m there.”

Apparently plenty of other companies like Kim’s work. Since he proposed the rebranding, Kim has received several job offers but he held out for Microsoft.

Kim will work with Microsoft’s Xbox division and help craft its new identity.

All well and good. Hopefully Kim won’t become disenfranchised with the inevitable corporate crap that comes with the design by committee mentality of most large organizations.

Psychologists explain that the loneliest people in most social circles aren’t the quiet ones on the edges. They’re the organizers, the hosts, the ones who hold everything together, because no one thinks to care for the person who appears to need it least.

Quote of the day by Audrey Hepburn: The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul, in the caring that she lovingly gives — and psychology says truly good women embody this truth without performing it

I’m 65 and I have spent most of my adult life believing I was a good friend and the last two years discovering I wasn’t, that I was attentive when I felt like it, generous when it cost me nothing, present when presence was easy, and the evidence for this revision isn’t dramatic — it’s just the quiet of my phone, the shortness of the list of people I could call in a real moment, the specific quality of a Saturday that belongs to nobody

Behavioral scientists found that people without children develop a relationship to mortality that is psychologically distinct. Without biological continuation, they must construct meaning through contribution, connection, and presence rather than lineage, and that construction is both harder and, when successful, more intentional than most people realize.

I’m 65 and my son moved back at 32 and I want to be honest that it was simultaneously one of the most loving things I’ve done and one of the hardest, not because of anything he did but because I’d spent three years learning who I was in an empty house and found that I wasn’t entirely ready to stop being her, and holding both of those things at once was more complicated than any parenting book prepared me for

I chose law school because my parents cleaned houses and I wanted them to be proud. Now I’m 38 making $300K a year and I hate every single morning, but I can’t tell anyone because complaining about a successful life you hate sounds like privilege, not pain
