Today my photo library decided to come up with an “Art” category. As far as I can tell, very little of it is really art — with the exception of this glorious portrait of John Waters from the National Portrait Gallery.
In Star Wars video games, lightsabers should be exactly as powerful as they are in the movies, which includes having like a 3% chance that you'll chop off your own foot any foot any time you use it.
The rain and clouds finally cleared up, so I went for a short walk to find a slightly darker, semi-unobstructed view. I could just barely detect a hint of green, but my phone was able to capture it much better than I could see it, and it’s still barely visible.
Shoutout to @cassey for her excellent post about using Airtable with #11ty!
I'm helping a friend build out some new features for his business's existing Eleventy site and Airtable seemed like the right tool for the job. Thanks for doing the hard work for me!
Zoom finally updated their Mac app's design. It's an improvement, but they used a hexagon instead of an octagon as a "stop sign," and it's going to drive me insane until they change it again in like 10 years.
Also, why is there an X inside of it? A stop sign already means stop. It's like they couldn't decide on an icon, so they used two.
@Chris this just made me realize that my 2 year old's enthusiastic labeling of stop signs as "hockeygons" (hexagons) is not precocious, she's actually bad at shapes and failing to recognize it's actually an octagon. (Which also I didn't notice either, so...)
A terrible pattern that has crept up in web, desktop, and mobile apps these days is when you click or tap on text that should be interactive/editable, and some other thing pops up instead.
Arc browser does it with their URL bar.
Tailwind gives me one more reason to dislike them with their search
Google does it with their mobile search
It's bad because you're looking at text and intending to do something and then some other thing jumps out of nowhere, causing a distraction.
