Two years ago, I had the opportunity to move to Paris post-graduation. I lived in the 9e for a semester, and as much as I loved it, I wasn’t in love. So I ended up settling in, in New York, and spent time wandering Italy and Japan for a month. Looking for something, I guess. There was definitely a time when I thought back on that almost-move, last summer, but now—it’s gone. My heart is split in three—pieces in New York, Barcelona, and Tokyo—and they are really the only places I see myself calling home. There’s a certain fluidity I need in any relationship, like in life: knowing the urge to wander from time to time; wanting, more than anything, to pick up and run off when you need it most.

Daily Chart: Where are the world’s busiest airline routes? Jeju, on the South Korean island of the same name, is not one of the country’s 20 biggest cities. Yet its allure as a tourist destination resulted in 9.9m passengers flying between Seoul and Jeju in 2011.

Going to Spain in two weeks and feeling pretty strongly about not having an itinerary, if you know what I mean.
I might never come home.

Letter to Jane Magazine is Moving to New York
Another way of saying that is I am moving to New York. Oregon has been my home for most of my life, but great opportunities have been opening up that I feel lucky to take advantage of. I leave for New York in a week and I’m still looking for an apartment to rent/sublet so any tips are welcomed. There is more news to be announced that is a part of this move but for now that is all I can say. I will miss the West Coast like crazy, but I’m excited to take this next step and grateful to be a part of some very cool things coming. Stay tuned for more.
1 note (9:04)Most people don’t have great taste. (And they don’t care, so it doesn’t matter to them.) They usually like tasteful, well-designed products, but often don’t recognize why, or care more about other factors when making buying decisions.
People who naturally recognize tasteful, well-designed products are a small subset of the population. But people who can create them are a much smaller subset.
Taste in product creation overlaps a lot with design: doing it well requires it to be valued, rewarded, and embedded in the company’s culture and upper leadership. If it’s not, great taste can’t guide product decisions, and great designers leave.
No amount of money, and no small amount of time, can buy taste.—Marco Arment
