I just watched Gremlins 2 for the first time since 1990. The entire film is built around a dim, vain, tasteless New York developer named Daniel Clamp, his sprawling Clamp Building and his gimcrack Clamp Empire, which includes TV stations, his inane self-aggrandizing books, and a line of jams and jellies. At the end he falls for a character named Marla. This has been a remark about how the meaning of a work of art is not something fixed or under the control of its creators.
@drdrang Hey, I managed to trigger the thing.
I thought I had found a clever way around an annoying problem—I have to get hundreds of randomly-named SVG elements that correspond to ordered elements (train stations) in a CSV. So I concocted a script in Illustrator to extract, all at once, the layer names of a bunch of elements after I have cmd-clicked them so they're all selected. I am so clever. But ... Illustrator cannot extract them in the order I clicked them, only in layer order, which is itself random. Gaaah.
Subway Sign
After the parking signs last time, here is a subway sign.
A borough-specific sign to display
Here’s a direct link to the PNG and the PDF. Once again, put it onna stick and exercise the constitutional rights to freedom of expression, speech, and assembly enjoyed by everyone in the United States.
Everything is fine over there
