Welcome to edition #10 of our Five on Friday, a weekly roundup of links to articles, videos or products that are interesting, inspiring, fun or simply beautiful. Grab your squeezed orange juice, sit back, and enjoy.

Sound: SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker

While Google was leading this weeks hardware releases podium, a tiny thing from Bose was also recently release. I’m a big fan of the SoundLink Mini but this is so small and convenient (water-proof).

Earth: Ecological Branding

Not all of these work great, but just thinking about it makes a ton of sense to me, especially with these big brands that produce millions of products with their logo on it. If only a small fraction of those would save a bit of ink, it’ll be much more ecological.

Funny: Papyrus

The horror of a font.

Learn: UI Design for iPhone X: Top Elements and the Notch

Max Rudberg has been writing a series of great articles on how to design for the iPhone X (I keep saying ‘ex’, not 10). This one shows off a few examples on how to design for / with the notch. While I’m not a huge fan of the notch, some of these actually look pretty good.

Inspire: If You Can Learn These Things In Your 20s, Your Future Self Will Thank You

A bit cheesy here and there, but some fine tips on what to think about in your 20s. I just joined the 30s club, but still some good pointers to keep in mind.
