A pair of eye glasses sits on a blank background. The frames are blocky, with thick rims and wide, open arms. The lenses are semi-circular in shape; flat along the top and round along the edges and the bottom. Shadows cast along the surface of the lenses, with the right lens being darker than the left. Two small screws can be seen on either side of the frame, attaching the arms to the glasses.

What it takes to keep going when faced with fear and uncertainty: read 252 words on The Davis Daily

Three test tubes stand in a row within an old tube rack. You can tell it’s old because the surface is well-worn and pitted, showing its years of use. The test tube on the left is full of a clear liquid. Several bubbles in various sizes rise from the bottom. The bubbles gather at the opening of the test tube to form a pyramid-looking stack. The middle test tube is three-quarters of the way full with a clear liquid. Two tiny bubbles rise from the very bottom. A cork is pressed firmly into the opening. The test tube on the right is only a quarter of the way full, but the liquid is dark, almost black. A few bubbles spurt from the liquid but remain far from the opening.

This is worth testing

Why brand awareness is a smarter approach to display advertising than direct response: read 193 words on The Davis Daily.

This is a collection of hand-sketched retail signs, promotional graphics, and shopping bags. There are nine in total. Each has the word SALE on it in capital letters. The letters are 3D in appearance, as are the graphics themselves. Some drawings are of arrows, pointing in various directions. One is a speech bubble, and another is a tag with string hanging from one end. There is a sign nailed to a pole and a paper bag with looped handles. The most extravagant drawings are jagged, starburst shapes, like something from a comic book, making the word SALE appear more impactful.

Words for sale

From strumming six strings to writing things for a living: reflecting on Mom’s advice in 210 words on The Davis Daily.

Imagine an older two-storey wooden house. The roof is steep and gabled, with horizontal siding along a small attic window near the peak. Below is a covered front porch with a railing, several narrow windows, and a central front door. The window to the right of the door is larger, made up of three glass panels. The curtains are pulled back, showing the silhouettes of a family. The window to the left of the door is a small single pane of glass. It’s dark, but a lone figure is visible within. The porch is reached by a short flight of steps. A straight walkway leads from the porch steps toward another set of steps. Half of the walkway is made from stone, the other half is made of concrete pads. The concrete is chipped and cracked. The stonework is well-worn. The walkway is bordered by a simple lawn, and two flowerbeds sit on either side of the porch steps.

To peace in the past, from an unfamiliar future: a call that can’t pick up. Read 102 words on The Davis Daily.

You’re standing in front of a stone wall. In the middle of the wall is a tall archway with an ornate gate. Unlike the stone used for the wall, the arch is made of brick. Flowers line the top of the arch, covering most of the brickwork. The gate is made of decorative iron rods. The rods are bent into circular shapes, some look like the letter s. A pathway leads up to the gate. You notice it’s cracked in random places. Wild grass grows on either side of the pathway. It’s not long, but it’s unkempt. Beyond the wall are two trees, one to the left of the gate and one to the right of the gate. The trees are tall with bushy canopies. The tree to the right has a diamond-shaped hole in the middle of it; maybe it’s a bird’s nest, or a squirrel’s den.

Some fatherly advice

How to find your heaven: go through hell. Read a lesson of faith in 166 words on The Davis Daily.

A robot head wears a human brain like a hat. The brain is pink, as you’d expect, with black rigid lines firing throughout, acting like brain waves. The robot’s head is grey, like the colour of stainless steel. It has two large, round eyes. Oddly, they are blue and very human-like. The robot doesn’t have a mouth, only two nuts and bolts on either side of a metal plate. The metal plate connects to the robot’s neck, which is made up of multiple rectangular pieces of metal stacked atop each other. The robot is attempting to mimic life, but it only stares back at you soullessly.
