(50fps was from a video about hawk-eye’s tech from last WC/many current stadiums) www.wired.com/story/world-...

$quote from the attached WIRED article: While the vast majority of offside plays can be spotted by watching slowed-down broadcast footage in video replays, a handful of infractions (or non-infractions) occur at the precise moment between video frames. Despite the rarity of this problem, FIFA is dead set on solving it: Holzmüller says a combination of the 3D scans and ball-tracking data—which by capturing positions 500 times per second can produce higher-resolution data than video’s 60 frames per second—will supplement the video footage to provide the most complete picture possible.$

the male loneliness epidemic has gotten out of control

the lyrics to the bridge of the smiths “how soon is now”:

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die

made some tweaks to the ol' cyber home lowmess.com

my website homepage as of 2026-01-09. a playing-card like frame surrounds the content, with a topographical map covering the canvas outside of the frame. the footer cuts a solid, dark background across the entire page without breaking the frame. the headline reads "my name is alec lomas, and i make websites."

the same screenshot as the first image, but in dark mode

i use @codepen.io as basically an advanced, code-aware jotpad a lot of the time -- sketching out UI ideas, sharing quick snippets/ideas with my team, etc. i would do questionable things (or even pay amoney) for an offline-first pen notebook that syncs with the site in the background

been a few days and its still shocking to me that a company with a reputation for creating thoughtful, useful visual design language -- a reputation 40 years in the making -- thought this was good enough to demo as an exploration, let alone prepare to ship

what if, instead, you simply allowed me to continue to not use the expensive and bad product i did not ask for at my current subscription price. how about that

screenshot of a google workspace pricing increase announcement that reads:

"We recently added the best of Google AI to Workspace plans to help your teams accomplish more, faster. In addition, we added new, simple to use security insights and controls to help you keep your business data safe.

"We also announced updated subscription pricing. Your subscription will be subject to this updated pricing starting July 7, 2025*."

this single sentence invalidated what was otherwise a mostly correct take on spending too much time naming things

lol binocularshot.com

a screenshot of the binocular shot "about this project" blurb in the site's footer:
"This website collects movie clips with inaccurate binocular shots (i.e., two overlapping circles instead of one, as you would see in real life). It currently features 36 fantastic films and also White Noise (2022)."
the last sentence is highlighted in the screenshot.
