Asking AI to generate some logos
Janelle Shane's AI Weirdness blog is great. This particular post makes me wondering about job security.
Song Link / Odesli
Automatically scours major streaming platforms to share links for songs, albums and podcasts. I no longer have to link to YouTube videos! (I do fear if the service will exist much longer after a Linktree acquisition...) / via Andy Bell
Touch screens in cars are not good
This entire article can be summed up by the title. Don't get me wrong, as soon as fully autonomous vehicles are a real thing? Screens everywhere!
Around
It's like Zoom, but funner apparently, breaking out of boxes and adding filters, music, and games.
Bionic Reading
The most concise parts of words are set in bold which, in theory, guides the eye and increases comprehension. Intrigued to try this with longer text. / via @LukesBeard
My 16 Favourite Finder Tips for Mac
I thought I knew MacOS well, but almost every single item on Rory Bowcott's list was an a-ha! / via another link on Belong
How to block domains from search results
Luke Harris has a good rundown of options. I just installed the uBlacklist browser extension and I might never have to see an image result from Pinterest or iStockphoto again. Glory!
Excel, an overlooked design tool
I've done a pretty good job of making Powerpoint look good, but this is next level stuff. / via Sidebar
Hyundai IONIQ 5
Need to pay off my current ride and drive it for many more years. But I like to dream of what the next vehicle will be and this new EV from Hyundai presses a lot of buttons (and kept a few important controls as real knobs).
Contra Chrome
Online webcomic by Leah Elliott that exposes what really happens when you use the Chrome browser (and other Google services). Be sure to use the arrow pagination tool and not the 'skip to the end' button.
Have iPhone Cameras Become Too Smart?
Mobile phone photos look like weird paintings anymore. I'd like an option to turn off computational photography.
ID. Buzz
This long dreamed about VW moves (slowly) into production (for Europe). The front design is busy, but the rest of the package is compelling.
The Problem With NFTs
I've seen half of this (two hour!) video but agree with Michael here that it's worth watching to get a better understanding of this emerging (and divisive) technology.
How Brian Lovin’s site works
Whoa. This is densely awesome. A personal website that operates somewhat like an OS. Thoroughly engaging and inspiring.
NightWatch Magnifying Clock Dock
I already have enough clocks and a charging solution for my watch. But if I didn't I'd totally consider this beauty. / via smartpeopleiknow
BrickIt App
Throw your lego down and scan it with this app and it will give you step by step instructions to build new things. Haven't tried this, but it sounds far out. / via ProductHunt
A portal to feel connected
Marveling at this huge circular screen and camera with real-time feed between Vilnius, Lithuania and Lublin, Poland
How Uber is Scamming Everyone
Edward Ongweso, Jr. and Gravel Institute present such an alarming and compelling case against Uber I will vow to seek alternatives and understand the landscape of travel options with more thought.
Scrapbook
After seeing this post on Fonts In Use I am now scouring the internet for a modern replacement of this old Apple utility that was probably better in my memory than actually useful.
Apple’s Privacy Commercial
I had only seen tiny snippets before seeing the whole thing. This really brings clarity to the insanity of tracking. I would actually appreciate seeing a longer and deeper dive. Sadly the video is hosted on Youtube. / via DaringFireball
Fingerspelling
Give this website webcam permissions and learn sign language (Chrome based browsers)
A Guy and His Boring Startup
His name is Stewart Butterfield. You may know him from Flickr, but he has this new thing called Slack.
A Better Queue
Filter Netflix by Rotten Tomatoes scores and genres. Awesome. /via SwissMiss
Six Years as an Indy Mobile App Developer
"For the past six years I’ve managed to maintain a sustainable app-centric business." the story of Timewerks
NPR One
New app to peruse NPR's audio content, blending interests, global and local stories. Haven't used but I am enamored with the icon alone!
Lucy Space USB drive
I just saw the movie Lucy and couldn't find an image of this USB drive on the internet so I made it.
