May has been an important month for us, as we've announced some big big news and are embarking on new journeys. I'll be talking about some details here over the next few months, but I wanted to kick off this new stage with a beautiful image from 1962 in a West Germany slaughterhouse. This room is the last stop before the cows meet their maker, and what a glorious final look at life. A nearby lighting factory did not have the room to assemble the huge 532-bulb chandelier, so they put it together here instead.
