15 notes. Back to the latest.
-
I’m 36 years old and I just realised “crime doesn’t pay” is a pun
-
What are some good online resources for learning about planning/planting flowerbeds, shrubberies, etc?
-
Why would “hand cut” be a selling point here?
-
I agree with most of the thinking in this, except I’ve found x-height (using the ex unit) to be more reliable than cap height when it comes to optically matching different typefaces
-
If you were putting together a conference focused on good old-fashioned Web Design, who would be your dream speakers?
Who’s pushing the medium forward these days?
-
“Core competences that were inherited from graphic design have been replaced with a poor man’s version of an anthropology major where the act of design is mostly based on averaging user opinions.”

TSA before X-ray:
“You can leave all your large electronics in your bags”TSA after X-ray:
“We need to search literally all of these bags” -
Just been to the Bellagio Fountains and that scene at the end of Oceans 11 where they’re the only people there is looking increasingly like a plot hole

Finally got a chance to try Apple Vision. First thoughts:
• It’s definitely impressive and feels magical. My brain couldn’t quite fathom that others weren’t seeing what I was seeing.
• It’s fuzzier than I expected. Maybe my peripheral vision is just exceptionally good, but I really noticed the foveated rendering.
• The eye tracking is impressive, but I often missed selecting something because I looked at it, then glanced away as I was tapping it, meaning my tap didn't register.
• I probably just had it on wrong but the headset never felt comfortable to me.
• It seems odd that I have to reach up to hit the digital crown to get back to the homescreen... that feels like it should just be a gesture.
• Watching the Avatar 3D movie demo felt even fuzzier
• The environments felt more real than I’d expected
• The keynote “presentation environment” thing is pretty cool, but weird that there’s no audience
• Rotating 3D objects with two hands in Jig felt really intuitive

It’s nice that OJ died with his family beside him. Just like his wife did.

Email from Vercel: “Our community have told us we’re too expensive, so we’re changing our pricing. Your bill will increase by 17.5%”

Love me some well-targeted sales outreach spam
