Marcin WicharyI think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.
This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

@siracusa At least once per day for me. Maybe I’m using my AirPods more than most.
@jsnell Have had nothing but problems for the last week since updating to 4.4.1. Audio devices randomly going missing and the app beachballing. Submitted feedback, so hopefully gets fixed soon.
@siracusa If you don't already have it, I recommend checking out The Art of NASA: The Illustrations That Sold the Missions.

@tvaziri very well articulated.
The filmmaking equivalent has become sensor sizes/film formats. People talk about large formats in mystical terms, while in reality they are just different croppings of the same light.
Brent SimmonsIf you’ve used Twitterrific and/or Tweetbot and have a subscription — then this is your chance to be awesome and support awesome indie developers.
Here’s what to do: get the latest versions from the App Store, launch the app, and then tap the “I Don’t Need a Refund” button.
What is only a few dollars to you ends up, in aggregate, meaning a ton to these folks who work so hard and bring so much to our computing lives.
Ken ShirriffHow did Russian cosmonauts know where they were? The Globus INK (1967) showed the position of their Soyuz spacecraft on a rotating globe. It is an analog computer built from tiny gears. I reverse-engineered the wiring (which inconveniently had been cut) and we powered it up. 🧵
Jordan MechnerFrom my journal 30 years ago today, Feb 1993. I was crunching with a Broderbund team to finish Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, and starting research for my next game, The Last Express.
My published journal The Making of Prince of Persia (https://jordanmechner.com/books/journals/) ends in January 1993. Since 2023 is the 30th anniversary of POP2's release and Last Express's beginning I thought now would be a good moment to resume my "blog from the past." Here's the first installment.

@cubertoy Yeah, fun track to work with. We got the music before starting, so I ended up editing/animating to a synth version of the piece. I remember it really coming together when I added in the little jumps and stutter steps aligning with his rhythms.
