You might have heard that it’s 2004 Week on The Verge. There are lots of awesome, super nostalgic stories that you absolutely need to go check out right now.

BUT before you do that, you should also check out the collection of new retro gear that we made to celebrate. We have a T-shirt, a tote bag, a water bottle, and some stickers, all with the Verge 2004 logo (which we’re pretty sure nobody at Kazaa can sue us over at this point). We love it, and we think you will too.

Any guesses what it might be? (Or what you want it to be, in case it’s not that, but maybe it can be later?) Stay tuned!

In addition to our detailed review, The Verge video team brought in Vox Media employees from different areas of the company to experience the Apple Vision Pro for the very first time.

See their reactions, including mine, right here. Let’s just say there were a lot of “whoa(s).”

Tim Cook shared a fun animation celebrating the 40th anniversary of the original Macintosh, and hidden amongst the colorful array of products and iconography is none other than Clarus, a lesser-known piece of Mac history otherwise referred to as the “dogcow.”

Designed by legendary graphic designer Susan Kare for the original Macintosh as part of the Cairo font, Clarus continues to make cameos in Apple’s software. Stephen Hackett has a great write-up at 512 Pixels on Clarus that I highly recommend, especially on a day like today.
