Earlier this year, we set up a special room in our office where people could sneak preview Big Walk with their friends. Almost 1,000 people came by.
We wanted the experience to be special, not just sitting at a screen. So we had some fun. Here's a look at the room's big finale.

As we hit the holiday weekend, you may run into a lot of new food, and a lot of old friends. Combine the two by gathering around Nour: Play With Your Food. Watch your cousin torch the ramen, or grind up some sushi rolls for the aunts. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

🌈 And just for fun, our wonderful icon artist Kenichi surprised us with a brand new set of celestially-inspired Nova dock icons you can now choose from.
(Tip: you might need to reboot your Mac, or do a 'killall Dock', for the new icons to take effect.)
ALT A screenshot of Nova's Settings > Theme view, showing some of the new Dock Icon choices. They are rainbow-colored and very beautiful. There's also a "Classic" icon in earlier Mac OS X style, and a "Extra Classic" icon in a sort-of Mac OS 7 style.
