Lately I've been developing this theory that bagels and hot chocolate would go really well together

On dragon.style, they’re called “rars,” not “toots,” and I want to emphasize that fact. It’s the only reason I agreed to be here.

There was a time in my life when I thought I was going to be a detective. Also, I just spent several minutes looking for a bracelet I was already wearing.

If you insist that people learn to code in order to use technology, I'm going to insist that you grow your own flax, do the retting, spin it, weave it, and sew it before you're allowed to wear pants.

This realization came to me in a dream last night. Upon waking, the following occurred to me:

1. Did Guillermo del Toro already explore this idea while I wasn't paying attention?

2. What happens if you attach Pinocchio's head to a large building, effectively turning the entire building into his body, then while he is in that state turn him into a real boy

[image description: A creature resembling some manner of antelope. But possessed of more (and more confounding) horns. The Dilemma’s 5 largest horns curl and twist about. The birds that perch on them suggest that each horn generates its own inexorable and specific gravity. Text reads, “185, THE SMALL GOD DILEMMA”]

Sometimes there is no good answer. Sometimes the only way to win is to lose with a little less absolute finality...

After yesterday's success with the #GameboyCamera #Trichrome for the #1990sCameraChallenge #ShittyCameraChallenge, I thought I would use a full-spectrum #Funtograph (taken without using the infrared cut filter) to produce a #Gameboy AEROCHROME.

I used the full-spectrum funtograph for the red layer, the red filter image for the green layer and the green filter image for the blue layer, according to the method of Joshua Bird. It looks pretty darn good, if I say so myself.

When designing a typeface, test it with real text.

#LoremIpsum is a nonsense snippet used to test #fonts and typographic layouts. It's based on a passage about pleasure and pain from M. T. Cicero's "De finibus bonorum et malorum" ("On the ends of good and evil") written in 45 BCE.

Nonsense harms design mockups by drawing attention away from the meaning that a design aims to convey.[1][2] So instead, I test a #PixelFont with meaningful text, preferably a draft of the copy to be displayed. If I must use Lorem Ipsum, I use H. Rackham's English translation of the passage, which calls to mind the pain of design leading to the pleasure of the result.

I dreamt I was learning a language with two important words, wimak and mak. You used ‘mak’ in factual sentences where the basis for your assertion was anything you could touch (including taste) and ‘wimak’ if what you knew came from dreams, communication with ghosts, or intuition. Stuff you saw or heard was an unmarked case. People argued about whether tv or internet was wimak or not. #linguistdreams
