The Mac OS Control Panel by Susan Kare is such a remarkable UI. It was designed in 1984 without any text labels and fits in only 315x158 pixels.

The result of my woodworking lesson. The trays are clearly too thick, will adjust next time. Now I need to learn how to use a router (photo) to plow out the inside.

In the US, the syringe for infants’ acetaminophen (aka Tylenol) is graduated in ml, requiring parents to check the dosage. In France, the equivalent Doliprane uses the children’s weight, eliminating any risk of accidental overdose. This design should be standard everywhere.

I forgot to post the last photos of my trip to the Finger Lakes.

I got caught in a surprise snowstorm (if that’s a thing). At first it was fun, then I tried to brake. I asked Siri when the snow would stop and she said: “yes, it’s going to snow today.”

Luckily I had a full bag of Sour Patch Kids. Just in case, I’ll add survival blankets to my first aid kit. #photography

Just received our TK-01 super automatic while we wait for the TK-02, the most beautiful super automatic I’ve ever seen 🤩 https://www.terrakaffe.com/products/tk-02

Outside of a few design quirks (e.g. you can’t leave it against a wall because the water tank is on the left and the grounds bin on the right, or the screen is always on but the first tap just wakes it up), it’s a great machine!
