I linked to his work before, and here’s The Art Of Storytelling with another interesting video – about what made Jobs such a good presenter: I’m not going to spoil the findings, which are presented well with good corroborating examples. But the most interesting thing to me was one short video snippet of Jobs being...

The lines are watermarked, not printed so they basically are invisible! One of those ridiculously simple solutions that you wonder why no-one thought of it before. £62 whole...
La resistencia invisible (The world will Tremble) es un drama histórico ambientado en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial. Dirigida por Lior Geller que recupera una historia real poco conocida: la fuga de dos prisioneros judíos del campo de exterminio de Chełmno y su empeño en convertir aquella huida en el primer...
My blog used to use Crimson Pro as the main body font, something that threads the needle of being serif-y enough for the Possession-esque posts, but not too out of place for the technical macOS Messages debugging ones. You should consider customizing anything you use, and the font is no exception. Let's tweak it!
The curl security team happens to also double as the curl core team. The small group of people who assess security reports and take project decisions. The exact set of participants in this team of course vary over time, as this is a volunteer membership role without monetary compensation. I decided to write this...
