What a terrific avalanche of new followers! Thank you all for following! You might have been attracted by my recent barrage of UI-related observations and criticisms… And I must say, for once it feels good to rant knowing that someone is listening; while often in the past I was left with the feeling that I was talking to an empty room.

I toot in bursts, though, and there may be periods where I go quiet, especially when my workload increases. But for now, thank you all for the faves/boosts! 😊

made a little collection of classic Mac related stickers! if you donate anything to the ACMS, I’ll send you a set - just DM me a screenshot of the donation and your postal address, it’s fine if you aren’t Australian, I can post worldwide! 😄

This haptic trailer for a Formula 1 racing movie uses your phone’s vibration to pretty good effect. Synergistic vibration and audio has has been around in video games for a long time. REZ and Tetris Effect Connected are prominent examples.
