My new employer provided me with a beast of a laptop… that runs on Windows 11. I’ve been using computers for 32 years, i’ve been writing about computers for half my life, and yet, i feel like a complete beginner.

For over fifteen years, i’ve been photographing storefronts to document a rapidly fading typographical tradition. These “architypes” inform my practice as a budding typeface designer, but i don’t want to selfishly keep them for myself. I’ve been mulling over this idea of a single-page gallery with infinite...

I’m beginning to think that you should ignore travel guides entirely. Take Marseille, France’s second city after Paris and before Lyon. Everybody tells you to visit Notre-Dame de la Garde, a basilica built in the 19th century at the top of a hill… just like the Sacré-Cœur in Paris and Notre-Dame de Fourvière in...

Can you “learn any language fast and never forget it” thanks to the Fluent Forever method? I’ve read Gabriel Wyner’s book and intend to find out. Instead of focusing on grammar, it emphasizes early mastery of pronunciation with deep immersion and intense acquisition of vocabulary with spaced repetition. I can vouch...

“There’s a particular kind of guilt that visits me when I open my feed reader after a few days away”, Terry writes in their recent post, and then goes on wondering why most RSS readers look like email clients. NetNewsWire might have been “the first RSS reader to resemble an email app”, but years before, the My...
