Nikita Prokopov points out all the inconsistencies, in the icons of Tahoe, the new Mac operating system. The “fifty shades of new” made my day. If you can’t find a good metaphor, using no icon is better than using a bad, confusing, or nonsensical icon. tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-i...

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

I’m always thinking about More Work For Mother

She looked where he was looking, into the dim gulf of air above the western sea. “If she comes, she'll come from there,” he said. “And if she doesn't come, she is there.” She nodded. “I know.” Her eyes were filled with tears.

“No matter how Ring and other surveillance tech companies may downplay it, there’s no world in which finding lost dogs is the final end-use for this technology.”

interesting to see Taylorism happen in real time…..one year ago i wouldn’t have been able to give a name to this phenomenon I’m seeing take shape

I wrote a terminal kwic concordancer for my epub library and now my computer can look like this.

every day i wake up wanting to do a phd on polish posters

Portland has inflatable animals; SF deletes jira tickets. Protests really do reveal the spirit of a place and its people...

saw a pic of me working on my ikebana wearing my apple watch (for the first time) & i’m distraught ive never seen something uglier. the sharp contrast bw the flower arrangement & the ugly watch wish these brands understood the beauty/jewelry side of electronics. theres got to be HCI papers on this
