On version ones

I've been retired/unemployed for 6 months now, but it feels like I'm working harder than ever. I'm building new things and updating my projects every day. And it's fun. It's satisfying to make progress, try out new ideas and them to version ones.

Sometimes I think about the department store, marui, whose logo is O1O1 and think of what it represents and how genius is this branding!

I'm guessing that the original name was 丸井 (circular well), a common name in Japanese. But then a genius came up with the branding, maru-ichi (01). And then said, it would look even more cool if you has 2 x 01, so it'd be 0101.

Make sure the O is very circular, like a perfect circle!

But I also love the 1. I love a v1. It's the one that's good enough that you think, "this can be v1". It's probably no coincidence that I decided to have a sub-site called aversion.one when I started putting up experiments.
