Trying to crank out an English paper before I go to Universal tomorrow.

The fun thing about doing low stakes college courses for fun is that you can engineer the conditions to sneak in a reference to 50 Cent's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" in a paper talking about Gold Rush era California for the pure objective of amusing yourself. 😂

Duolingo has a math course. I checked it out for the lulz. WTH is going on with all these boxes?

I'm so glad I didn't have this stuff when I went to school. I understand that this is better for some but it's really disorienting to me. Took me way too long to figure out what was going on.

The Evolution of the Google Logo was a fun bit too.

#ThrowbackThursday To that time about 8 years ago when I made a design course with @crafty and @romannurik in Google's NYC office.

Production note, we filmed all the intros and outros on the same day, and it was March I believe, and we didn't have enough mics so mine was tethered to the camera. That's why I look like I'm about to hibernate. I couldn't go in and get warm.

Am making a thing. Only 65 rows to go. Will be just under 9,200 stitches when done.

Trying hard to ignore the place where I obviously miscounted and reminding myself, I'm way past the point of no return.

Seems whoever did Delta's inflight wifi site forgot to QA test the install flow and the one place they didn't change the app name bled through.

TIL from Brian Tyler Cohen's book _Shameless_ that Franklin Pierce's winning campaign slogan in 1852 was:

*We Polked You in '44, We Shall Pierce You in '52*

and James Buchanan in 1856 had:

*We'll Buck 'em in '56*

So in addition to the DNC roll call playlist, I kinda want a compilation album of all the live performances...especially What About Us from Pink.

I love little unitasker web apps like this. Reminds me of the early MySpace age (OG MySpace, not when it tried to be a music site)

Find out how popular this name was over the years

Another IO Connect (Berlin) done and dusted. Was great [to hang with] the folks I only get to see at confs.

The swamp motif was a great concept but alas, now I understand what a Florida Everglades sim would feel like...minus the mosquitoes.
