I was very high-tech at Uni: I had a portable typewriter.

1962 - 1965

@NicholasBohm @neil When I was at University, I found an old student uni magazine from the late 80s where they were complaining about the university installing computer labs as a waste of money!

@steve @NicholasBohm @neil Back when you were at school, you weren’t crap at art, you were in an environment that didn’t understand how to foster creativity. Your art teacher shouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near children.

    This ad poster for the iMac is utterly perfect. Perfect photo, perfect slogan (the period at the end is key — “Yum” without the period wouldn’t quite play the same way), perfect relative scale and placement of the elements. Even the kerning is perfect — Apple Garamond never looked better or more timeless.

    @gruber You Americans and your crazy tight kerning!

    I wasn't able to be there for the finishing touches (last of the copes, shaping etc etc) but I took these photos anyway. I'll pop back for 'final' photos in a few months when our customer has finished their garden and the stone has settled in.

    This is a 3.5 metre curve, 1.2m on the tallest side, 1m on the shortest side, two cheekends, a niche and undulating cope line to mirror the beautiful hills behind it.

    The stone is recycled.

    @kristiedegaris that’s really beautiful
