The Contractor Special: Here's a house that's cute on the outside and completely soulless on the inside. Lowest-cost, lowest-quality items from Home Depot, paired with the bright-as-balls overhead grid lighting, make the inside of the house feel more like a cadaver prep room in a mortuary.
Cute blue tiny house at blue hour. Nice yellow window glow. Terrible atrocity of non-place, reduction of the human soul into splinters of flatness, forgetfulness of the humane.

Why does it need to ask for it twice? Two gnats to bat away upon an app opening. Every time.

Part of them I can store on a NAS, a few more in PhotoPrism, and more on neocities.org where I can mess around with them better. So goodbye, Pinterest. Thanks for all the phish.

Pinterest was founded in Dec 2009 and launched as a closed beta in March 2010 before public access later in August 2010. I joined Pinterest on a cold Jan 20, 2011. By May, I was trying to see if I could run my own, but the site's discovery feature was excellent, so I enjoyed unlimited browsing.

Dear Google Hangouts: Please Fix How Notetaker Bots Join Our Calls! Have you ever been on a work call which looks like this? You’re there to see one individual, but multiple chatbot notetakers have also joined! When a notetaker bot is joined to the Meeting, it’s the same size as a whole person!

At first, the design feels clean and effortless. But the simplicity is doing more work than it lets on: much of the thinking has quietly been handed to the "user". There's no such thing as automation in a store. When we use self-checkout, we're performing that labor. And poorly, too.

In the beginning was the CD: material, bounded, complete. From completeness came ownership. From ownership came care. Now we have removed the boundary. The infinite patch, and the endless service.

Moveable type became the locus of the distribution of recorded knowledge. The design of new typefaces mimicked the careful hand script of illuminated manuscripts.

Moveable type was introduced to Europe in the mid-1400s. It goes without saying that our friends the monks hated moveable type – it was ugly by comparison to their careful, handmade work. They also expected printed works to be filled with errors, which of course they were.
