@kfury Digital Cookie is 4 years old already. And in our experience, a tiny portion of actual sales. girlscouts.org/en/press-room/…

@motherfuton @jw Push back a decade: No Jacket Required was one of the best of that era.
-
@jw There’s an important distinction here between “no code” and “no code needed”. I like the second. I get frustrated with the first. Especially if I can’t open up the hood and “fix” developer assumptions or expand on MVP limitations and use cases.

@HurlyMcDingus Aka, Killer Interior Aroma.

@JustinMezzell Related, Disneyland used to have a ride based on the same concept: bumper car style hovering innertubes over in-ground jets of air that you’d shift your weight on to move in any direction. Sadly, wasn’t popular tho because you could never get going very fast.

@abdur Have been using the Gmail iOS app exclusively now for a few years. Aside from occasional formatting issues when pasting in external text, I’ve never looked back. But I do cringe whenever I need to help people still on Apple Mail.
-
@JustinMezzell Still love air hockey. And I get a chance to play it with my daughter every time we go to a local diner.

@dbedingfield Child’s play. It was at 41 over 10 years ago. Think about what Moore’s Law would mean for that number today.

@iChris @Mailchimp I’ve never been able to figure out what they use for the current default sort. None of the columns are flagged, and the order always seems unexplainable to me. Sorted by Date Added would seem to make the most sense, but I can understand other use cases too.
-
@iChris @Mailchimp Honestly, I’m just as surprised that it’s taken MC this long to add sticky sort (or a setting for a default) as it has for me to suggest it. Countless times resorting after bouncing around in different views and segments. 😳
-
@Mailchimp UI suggestion in this unofficial forum: please maintain (or provide a setting) for the default sort view of any list. Most often, I want to see any lists sorted by “Date Added”, and I constantly need to scroll over and click that column header twice to do so.
-
I’ve made one or two. Learned a ton in the early days from @alistapart.
-
@natekontny @simplebits Great read and assembly of concept/message. I guessed about Casey, but didn’t know about MNS and his struggles. Thanks for sharing.
-
@simplebits Advice I replay to myself: Never look at the unsubs. (Same for any services that show unfollows.) Leads to doubt, confusion, and depression.

I absolutely love @cottonbureau’s own Blank tees, especially the tri-blends. So I’m sad to hear production is discontinuing because of cost. Expensive to make and expensive to buy. Upside is the remaining Blanks are on sale for only $16/each. Get ’em. cottonbureau.com/blank

10 years ago, my growing frustration working at a large tech company eventually led me to explore an opportunity at a (then) much smaller tech company. Roles were night and day different. twitter.com/helena/status/…

@kfury So much better back in the day. Even the ones that missed center…
-
@kfury If I’m remembering right, wasn’t the type originally somewhat pressed into the heart, like letterpress?
-
@kfury When they started trying to imitate dot matrix skywriting.
-
@plasticmind Hearing about this more and more, and have experienced it ourselves too. We’re beyond conspiracy theory now, and to “how much?” gets recorded and parsed.
-
@vpieters Oh, tell me about it (designer-friendly manual for implementing Google APIs). I spent a good chunk of last weekend struggling through the Maps API. I’m horrible with JS.
-
@vpieters @jensimmons Hah! Rachel highlights your inspiration stream in her article as a beautiful example of masonry-like display. Love multicol for examples just like this.
-
@smarty Agreed. So much you can learn in such a condensed amount of time. Imagine what 2 decades there did to me.
-
@OwsWills She would if she heard they sparked joy for me!
-
Anyone else have relics like this sitting around in drawers or boxes? Bottom disc (Mac OS 8.5) is now 20 years old. (!!) Also pictured: the relic of a cd/dvd album.
-
@smarty @twitter @eventbrite Pretty cool. Is this from somehow embedding a video on the event page? I haven’t found that capability yet.
-
@adambain @msg Yep, same situation recently, hellofax was what we landed on too. Easy. But I lament the idea that services like this enable the FAX to continue living its miserable outdated life.
-
@chubicki Paraphrased, the algos watch for abnormal and sudden or dramatic increases of keywords relative to typical historical volume. The religion likely makes up the bulk of “typical” during other time periods. But I’d bet it was your show presence that spiked volume tonight.
-
@stop Like many of the unique features of Twitter we now take for granted, tweet threads seem to be more of an accidental discovery or a redux of outside contributions that Twitter’s product team now recognizes, and is adjusting to more officially support.
-
@stop I could be wrong (as I left Twitter the company more than 4 years ago now) but I don’t think this thread phenomenon and appeal is entirely intentional.
-
@stop There are possibly more, but the two contexts where tweet threads shine for me are: 1) live tweeting something funny or unexpected; 2) streams of thought or facts about a single subject that stay on topic, and reveal much more than a single tweet could.
-
@stop There’s something about the forced focus on each individual tweet (paragraph) and the metered delivery that alters the flow of composition and consumption just enough.
-
@stop Some folks are obviously better at threading together tweets than others. Good writing skills and brevity still matter. As does a tolerance for a less-than-ideal writing and composition experience.
-
@stop Add to this, the ability to like, bookmark, or reply to any given spot (tweet) in the thread makes each piece of that thread a potential branch of discussion, emphasis, or contention.
-
@stop I’m more likely to read the entirety of a 40-tweet thread than I am a 40-paragraph article or post. I find this ironic, given Twitter’s roots in brevity and constraint.
-
I may be in the minority, but I actually enjoy reading threads on twitter. Whether 4 or 40 tweets or more, the rhythmic, discrete chunks seem to unfold in a very natural way.
-
@toddlibby @aneventapart 10 years ago! Where has time gone?
-
@motherfuton Several factors at play. But seriously considering it now.
-
@motherfuton Oh, now I get the ref of driving up to LA early Dec. I hadn’t seen this. And here I thought you were just suggesting an open time block in your sched.
-
If you stay up late enough, tonight is the one night this year you can go back and relive an hour of history.
-
@davebeesley @TrentWalton @hankchizljaw Interesting how names are localized by the same company. What you call a Milky Way is our 3 Musketeers. And our Mars Bar has almonds in it, but I think it keeps getting discontinued. Makes snacking while traveling abroad a risky proposition if craving something specific.
-
@motherfuton @dribbble is on fire with the talent they’re pulling on. Congrats. Can I come hang out at one of your in-person company meetings or retreats?
-
@design @gracie @research Huge respect, Grace! So honored that we got to work with you. You brought professionalism, knowledge, a voice of reason, laughter, and so much more to the team and company. Miss you!
-
@sperte Like other changes Twitter has made over the past several years, this seems to be another move to de-geekify the tweet text. I assume those status/hashtag pills are tapable to take you to other tweets of the same type.
-
@nelson Hah. Blast from the past. I took over the website about halfway thru its life and did all of the illustration from that point on. We worked on the book toward the end. It was the opposite of every book project back then to start online, then go to a printed book. Fun project.
-
@dburka Not sure if they have a size you’d consider an ID card. We’ve been using @TicketDesigns for conf badges. They support unique barcodes and QR. And you can opt for a synth non-tear material, rounded corners, etc. ticketprinting.com/Event-Badges/

I also don’t like the idea of pre-tipping before a service is provided, as is often the case at cafes with these tablet terminals. wsj.com/articles/you-w…
