I absolutely adore Kindle’s new ad. It takes me back my childhood in Colorado, a place where Summer vacations were spent in trees reading library books. In third grade I created a pulley so that my mom could deliver my lunch / next book while I spent the afternoon perched in the largest Evergreen tree in our backyard. Pines aren’t built to have children in their branches, the rough bark wrote more than a few stories that can be read to this day in scars on my legs.

We live today not in the digital, not in the physical, but in the kind of minestrone that our mind makes of the two.

The word “brand” is derived from the Old Norse word brandr, which means “to burn by fire.” … In 1876, after the United Kingdom passed the Trade Mark Registration Act, Bass Ale became the first trademarked brand in the world after submitting its now-quintessential red triangle for trademark status. The act gave businesses the ability to register and protect a brand marker so that a similar icon couldn’t be used by any other company. In addition to clinching trademark number 1, Bass’s trailblazing history includes its appearances in Édouard Manet’s 1882 masterpiece A Bar at the Folies-Bergère and Pablo Picasso’s 1912 painting Bouteille de Bass et Guitare, ostensibly providing the brand with the cultural distinction of “first product placement.” … A little more than a century later, we are living in a world with over one hundred brands of bottled water.
