His mapping of the structure of our current governmental system was eye opening to me. I liked the explanation of the prescriptive (planned/written) vs. the descriptive (actual/unw…

https://graymirror.substack.com/ His new writing is interesting.

The New York Times is on it.

> how does it help prototype anything? Sketch, Figma, and XD all make it quick to do the most basic prototyping: click hot spot to go to a different screen. They are much more focu…

The most interesting thing about looking back at Kurzweil's writing is the tech optimism we were all smoking back then.

I wouldn't say I recommend trying this, but it takes time to find people you are actually interested in on Twitter. All the obvious "blue check-mark" people have zero insight at be…

I genuinely enjoyed your story about your nephew, but it's bit like telling an anecdote about an incompetent engineer and then saying there isn't a large number of engineers that a…

That doesn't mean that works for them. I hope the vast majority of purchases of Dove, Breyers, Klondike, Lipton, Vaseline, etc. can't be connected to social media impressions.

I would bet that marketing departments for companies like Unilever have a hard time showing ROI on Facebook advertising. Why not get some marketing attention for cutting your spend…

I will be so sad if the same thing happens to Fujifilm. Hopefully they have carved out a sustainable niche by focusing on APS-C.

- Each company has unique glass. - Each company has unique physical control schemes and software UX. - Color profiles allow you to apply the color science to RAW files. Some apps w…

I absolutely did not enjoy reading Kafka, but I get the importance of the work, and I think about it constantly.

I guess that isn't fair. It doesn't have all the layout assistance and plugins that Sketch and Figma have. It is perfectly fine as a wireframing tool.

Are there powerful prototyping plugins for Figma? I'd love it if the answer is yes. Axure is horrible for wireframing and a non-starter for visual design, but it has the most power…

I've started subscribing to journalists I like on Substack. I feel pretty good about giving a serious journalist $5 a month. No advertisers to please. Long form, highly researched …
