  1. How does IKEA come up with names for its products?

    Glad you asked! Turns out that IKEA really does have a formula for product naming. We use Swedish names for our products. The product names reflect our Swedish identity, Småland’s heritage and our values. They make IKEA unique and contribute to a sense of playfulness. The names are real words and often inspired by Swedish places, nature, emotions or everyday expressions – and follow a clear categorization system. For instance: Sofas → Swedish place names Bookshelves → men’s names Children’s…

  3. Majestic Casual, now on Apple Music

    It’s 2012. I’m late for my 8am marketing class. I’m running out the door of my tiny apartment, scrambling along the the sidewalk to campus. I’m 10 minutes away. Can I grab a coffee before class? Surely I can make it. I pull out my shiny new iPhone 5. Pull up YouTube. The wired headphones slowly untangle as I saunter into the student union building. I search for “majestic casual”. I hit play. Full send, volume up. Every step seems softer with music flowing out of the headphones. Majestic was my…

  6. Orion Browser

    Huh, you don’t see a new browser everyday, let alone one that opts for webkit over chromium. I suppose I’m pretty late to this discovery from Kagi. The chrome extension support is pretty neat. It’s a great idea and one that Apple should deeply consider. If Apple allowed cross-platform browser extensions, it would transform the web. Orion — a web browser designed from the ground-up. Native WebKit speed, full extension compatibility, and absolute privacy is finally together in one browser that…

  7. Astronaut Victor Glover spotted taking a photo with iPhone in Orion spacecraft on the way to the moon

    It’s the little things! I tuned in to the livestream of the mission and thought it was culturally important to share. In the stream, it’s hard to tell but I believe Glover was taking a photo of Hansen posing for a photo. I think they were preparing for press interviews.

  8. Artemis II launches today

    It’s been 54 years since we last visited the Moon. It’s an exciting day for science, for NASA and for mankind. The Artemis II launch gives me a lot hope (and anxiety). The rocket will be piloted by 3 americans and 1 canadian. Truly a historic day. This mission is considered a test flight which […] The post Artemis II launches today appeared first on stephen.nyc.

  10. Sun-Dried Ethiopia Highlands single-origin is my new favorite

    I know the coffee drinkers have opinions about Starbucks 😅 but I recently picked up these beans. It’s real bright and bouncy. Acidity is more subdued than I was expecting. It’s become one of my faves recently and wanted to share! The post Sun-Dried Ethiopia Highlands single-origin is my new favorite appeared first on stephen.nyc.
