The power of stickers
There's a brilliant Swiss idea called Pumipumpe. It's just a set of stickers depicting the kind of stuff people have in their home. The idea is that you stick stickers on your mailbox in the communal hallway of your block of flats, declaring what things in your flat you're willing to share. It's brilliantly simple, solving splendidly with stickers the kind of thing people are always trying to solve with apps.
Stickers are like Minimum Viable Entities. They're just enough to demonstrate that something exists and is real, but they're lightweight and disposable and attachable in all kinds of places.
Tampon Club describes it as making it look proper. Stickers help with that.

These are some bits.

Oneohtrix Point Never. Like a Dollar song smeared over all of space and time. Like Trevor Horn struggling to be born.
The mighty fallen
This, from Uncrate, makes me feel old.
And makes me realise how Sony threw it all away.
Or maybe it's inevitable and Apple's they've-had-a-huge-influence-all-the-same-day will come too.
