Doing the Seattle to Portland Ride this summer. As part of my training, today was a 70 mile ride — the Cascade Bicycle Club’s 2026 Flying Wheels Ride. Lots of hills, but amazing vistas and super fast downhills. So much fun.
And man, when you start riding over 60 miles, you are covering a lot of territory around here.
Beautiful day, too.

Manton ReeceJohn Gruber coining the term dickover for the annoying modals that obscure content:
"A webpage should show the webpage. An email should show the email. I should not have to explain this."
Couldn’t agree more. You will never see anything even remotely like this on Micro.blog or the blogs we host.
What Is a Dickover?
dickover — a modal panel, popover, or curtain presented by a website or app, deliberately obscuring its own content to frustrate the user with an unwanted, unnecessary, mandatory interaction; e.g. asking the user to accept “cookies”, subscribe to a newsletter, install the website’s mobile app, agree to terms of service, or anything else that the user couldn’t give two shits about.
Jason Santa MariaInteresting peek at @letterformarchive’s upcoming collection of scans of drawings, print outs, and materials from development of Emigre’s fonts. Eve Scarborough led the effort and also shares thoughts on how material like this is becoming scarce these days as so much of the design process is obscured in digital workflows.
