My greatest and most sincere apologies to Ron Gilbert for doing this to Maniac Mansion.

No, I'm not going to @ him about it. Are you nuts?

A lot of years ago, I took on an art study project where I traced over low-resolution screenshots of old games to see if I could "find" the detail in them. I never quite finished this one but I wanted to fill the bookshelf with as many silly things as possible. Some of it I slightly regret putting in there.

@lucasarts_places god, the vibes of any lucasarts game with a prominent bookshelf background.

@ploum Mozilla had one job. To not be as bad as Google. And they took that as a challenge, but in the wrong way.

#Mozilla has announced that they are closing their Mastodon instance.

But at least, they are hiring a lot, which is nice.

Like:
- Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- Principal Product Manager, Generative AI
- Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- …

Wait, are they hiring for something elseβ€―than AI ?

Glad you asked:

- Senior Staff Software Engineer, Ads
- Client Analytics Manager
- Product Policy Manager, Ads
- …

New blog post! This time I'm taking a look at fonts. I ran into a floppy disk containing a pair of extremely cute dingbat fonts - a tokusatsu helmet alphabet, and a set of decorative lucha mask characters. They're well-designed and very detailed.

so, today i learned that BIC ran an advertisement campaign 10 years ago, one that actually yielded something interesting, a font that was an average sum of people's handwriting! it was called the "universal typeface experiment"

...but the campaign got taken down the year after, and it was extremely hard tracking down the fonts for the longest time.

so, someone on reddit randomly popped up with a sketchy download link to it, so i snagged it and plopped it on internet archive so that this shit doesn't get lost lmfao

I often go on long walks around my neighborhood for exercise. And I often see ridiculously huge trucks or SUVs parked on the street.

These monstrosities are not only ugly, they're also extremely dangerous.

But fortunately, Jen Sorenson (@jensorensen) has a solution!
