Another brilliant track from Nada Surf. This bit from the album bio by Maggie Smith is gold:

Four years ago, during lockdown, I was listening to Nada Surf one morning. My son, then seven years old, was quiet, and then he said, “They sing a lot about love.”

What he said next has stuck with me: “It protects you.”

So far this flight has everything: random security screening, call to maintenance, and the chef’s kiss — “loose panel.”

Wish me luck I guess.

@Luke For now, yes. Still waiting for them to finish “fixing” the plane.

@Luke Unclear. If I make it eventually, then yes. Otherwise…

hey, everyone, I just had an epiphany and it lines up with what @scottboms keeps telling me:

KIFS.

@Luke @splorp Oh so that’s why I’ve been losing so much sleep at night!

Printing “A Map of the New World" by Stanley Donwood at Idem Press in Paris on the massive press known as Moby Dick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Ktqor91ks

@Luke Yup. Apparently took 5 weeks to cut.

Went out to the studio to tidy up a bit and apparently I’m printing a new edition now.

👋 For those interested, the brilliant and lovely @cameronmoll did a talk at the 2024 Front-End Design Conference. Wasn't there, but looks like it was wonderful. Here's a link to a PDF of his slides. Worth checking out. He also created a colophon, which is an idea I might steal…

And he quoted our own @scottboms!

I live in the woods.

It helps me everyday.

@Luke The algorithm tried to make me sit through not one but two 1 min ads to even start watching that. And the first was an about optimizing my schedule with AI so... now I really need a walk in the woods…

@Luke They were in an acceptable range prior to clicking that link and frankly I should have known better.

    @scott I’m sure that example is exactly what most users of Illustrstor are going for… but mostly 🤦‍♂️

    @scott That was my experience as well when I tried it. The little pop up never going away is a metaphor for how bloated Adobe’s software is these days.

    I definitely have too many slides to get through in this lecture this morning despite serious culling.

    @Luke Made it through and still had time for lots of questions! And despite numerous detours from my notes.

    Dropping off orders at the mailbox. Walking back as new ones hit my inbox. A good problem but also 🤦‍♂️

    @Luke I think this latest one hit a nerve.

    It’s a bicycle repair and gardening kind of day.

    @Luke Mostly weeding today but bought some new habanero and serrano plants to eventually use for making hot sauce. Also just solved my constant flat tire problems.

    Somehow missed that Jackson @Okay released a new type family at the end of February and it’s a beaut. Do yourself a favor and check out Euchre. ✨✨

    Let me tell you it’s pretty fun to try operating with one eye nearly swollen shut. Looks like an allergic reaction to something biting my eyelid.
