sometimes you just need 8 mins of space disco jazz

can whoever buys letterboxd please fix whatever this interface is

if you rate something aren't you basically liking it and watching it? what's the difference between a review or a log. how is the star rating not a review. it shouldn't be like this

the amount of times i could use this gif in a single day of corporate design work would astonish many people

i don’t think people realize the toll you still have to pay to get your thing in front of people. your thing could be great and you’re most likely paying a huge tax to Google, Facebook, Reddit, whoever. vibe coded products actually mean more money for them

people have been knocking off my designs with vibe coded stuff and i know it’s just going to sit there unless they drop 30k a quarter in advertising. to maybe have a chance at getting into the black in like a year

legitimately asking: can i delete linkedin yet? are we still doing it

i don't think this survives much longer than a viral photo or whatever. for the operator of a vehicle, this does not win against direct manipulation and controls. but this isn't for operators, this is for passengers who want to relinquish the driving experience while still owning it

you might say: nic that sounds like something solved by taking a bus or train. *sickos gif*

look i'm seeing these thread counts and i'm not enjoying them

these ones ------>

wait they’re only on desktop? now I look like a ding dong

this will age well when this happens again (and again) with increasingly less coded language from d** before he gives up on technology and ultimately goes into policy

ah yes once again the racists are the real victims

"in your heart" idk about all that i mean the words are out there! and they're not great! for a pretty long time!

i am becoming unhinged, i am not making a lil tamagotchi that gives small hints about vim motions. i just make toys now tbh

my goal is to freak out the neighborhood whenever i share my screen. my coworkers cant deal with it. ecru background? cat in IDE? what's next with this guy

the waste of AI makes me super uncomfy for a number of reasons. i've also seen a huge uptick in "i made [thing thats already been solved] and i need you to beta test it for me" and shifting a huge validation burden to users

there's a difference between "i had an idea" and "i'm convinced my idea will create good outcomes for people other than myself" and shipping against the former is wasteful, not just of materials, but of people's time, trust, and safety

ruby justice thelot's "why are there no new aesthetics" is my favorite lecture of the year and it's not even close

caffenol.appCAFFENOL darkroom

created a darkroom toy beta for all of my photog peeps that like the negative/print process or are curious about how it works #photography

multi-pass process that's visually more similar to how a consumer photo printer works

26 July

testing to see how actual negative scans do, it's a bit crunchy but i am a high contrast enjoyer so i really like the look. 35mm ektar 100 redeveloped to ortho "cross processed", re-printed

photo editing roguelike with no output being the same is kinda it here, but it makes some cool art

testing out color prints. RA-4 is an incredibly inaccessible workflow — paper costs a lot and you have to burn through a lot of it to get good prints.

16 July

develop a negative and then make a print!

14 July

experimenting with a darkroom style print approach, live laugh print

and the result

next up: develop the negative

if netflix buys letterboxd. i'm done with internet

my new years resolution was to watch one new movie every seven days, and letterboxd has been the backbone of both discovery and logging, guess it's time to get this: shop.a24films.com/products/a24...

the conditions that create good design are far more important than any process, tool, or technology. hmm yes

i think my biggest issue with figma is them taking open concepts and translating them into closed ones. they created a false need for two systems, like with tokens and variables. and so, now, their walled garden bet is collapsing their business, and they're easy egress away...

from the same demise as invision. i still love figjam though
