Painting a masterpiece

You can’t really decide to paint a masterpiece. You just have to think hard, work hard, and try to make a painting that you care about. Then, if you’re lucky, your work will find an audience for whom it’s meaningful.

Presence, not pursuit.

In early 2007 when I was in San Francisco to cover Macworld 2007, we rented a car and visited the Mothership in Cupertino.

After our tour of 1 Infinite Loop, I sought out the restroom and found it, marked with this sign that I photographed.

It stunned me and has sat restless in my mind these 20 years. How can this be the Apple HQ men's bathroom sign??

Edit: It's about the text centering.

Words and pictures in the history of user experience and the future of artificial intelligence

Modern artificial intelligence tools are largely rooted in text-based interactions. But the history of user experience, information and even humanity shows us that AI will have to go beyond text if it’s going to become relevant.

RIP #BillAtkinson (1951–2025). During his time at #Apple, he was central to the development of the graphical user interface of the Lisa and later the Macintosh, and is best known for creating MacPaint, QuickDraw, and HyperCard.

Atkinson is also credited for designing Venice, a chancery script bitmap font. Along with #SusanKare’s designs, it was one the “City” fonts that came with the original #Macintosh. https://fontsinuse.com/type_designers/6337/bill-atkinson

I love #SusanKare's classic 32x32 monochrome Macintosh icons.

Sometimes when you don't know where to start, having the most constraints imposed upon you can be the most freeing.
