it seems like if you write code for a living, you are likely to overestimate the extent to which generating more code can solve any kind of problem. conversely, if you _design_ software for a living, you are likely understand the extent to which more code creates more problems.

I knew this meta muse thing was not made for people when I saw the ad: someone saying "hey muse order my usual groceries" while floating in pool. I laughed audibly picturing anyone I have ever met doing that.

"It has refinements, technological advancements, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: Logic is an enemy, and truth is a menace.

my worst interview judgment was meeting one of the kickstarter founders way back (more a coffee chat than interview), at a time when I commuted _everywhere_ by bicycle. sudden unexpected downpour on the bridge, then a flat front tire, then a flat back tire. arrived late, greasy, totally drenched.

I was an interviewer and hiring manager for my own and various other people's teams for over 10 years. I couldn't tell you if anyone ever showed up with a coffee because it's an inconsequential piece of information.

Tale of Sand is a 2012 graphic novel based on a screenplay written through the 60s by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl, rendered as a graphic novel by artist Ramón K. Pérez It's a big book I pull off the shelf all the time, but never actually read it beginning to end. I just find the art style refreshing.

this is like how every new bike concept tries some pointless hubless wheels and minimal frame design, but nothing will beat the double-triangle design, because there's an objectively optimal geometry and they nailed it over a hundred years ago.

Modified: Sunday, September 3, 2006 at 22:57 the oldest of my design work I could find (everything earlier is on random drives or even zip disks) this was probably for a Flash banner. working late on a Sunday, totally normal agency work-life balance of zero.

was just talking with someone about how we almost never see monarchs anymore, how we used to see them every year (northeast US). I saw 3 at the park the other day.

Approximating the Lorenz attractor with a chaotic leaky water wheel. The orange dot is the centre of mass of the water. It traces (a projection of) the familiar attractor as the wheel spins seemingly randomly left and right.

There is no more renewable resource in the United States than wrongheaded takes by writers who confidently use country music as a simple symbol of rurality without having a clue about the music or seemingly anything else. If only we could harness such empty pontificating as a fuel source...

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the tech barons’ predictions about the future fail to come true, they don’t have to give the money back.

sometimes it's ok to indulge in early-00s 45-degree cut shapes and crash kerning chunky caps and hairlines. as a treat.
