If you like AR and typography, this makes for a very interesting read: https://www.aetherpoint.com/blogpost/breaking-boxes-typography-and-augmented-reality/
Loved this conversation between Jeff Veen and Tim Roberts: https://overcast.fm/+GpmDRXTXs
Periodic reminder that I’m offering Flexible Typesetting at 10% off for educators.
I also started a free slack group to discuss lesson plans — some amazing stuff in there already!
Email or DM me. 😄
How are Republicans winning *anything*? I do not understand the people in this country. We should be seeing solid blue.
Super excited. Today I get to do one of my *favorite* things: participate in a “design stretch” led by Samantha Warren. The ideas we generate at these events shape so much of how we talk and collaborate over the months (and sometimes years) following the stretch: https://theblog.adobe.com/design-stretches-teams-adobe-innovate-iterate/

I’m so tired of sensationalist anti-Apple “news”. This company is a beacon of hope for humans, and solid proof that caring about user experiences makes for a profitable business.
Keynote is such a great piece of software. I love Apple.

Very excited for these variable fonts tools coming to Firefox. (already in nightly) So useful! #aeaorl
Took today off and spent it with my 1yo, totally focused on her. We read a big stack of books, took a walk outside, played with toys, and ate every meal together. I love her so much. I love all of my children. Getting to know them is complete happiness.
Beautiful view of the stars tonight, from where I live.

When the css-tricks site goes down, we all realise how much we rely on it. Chris and his team write the best, most thorough and reliable, stuff. I go back to the almanac on selectors *constantly.* Also loving the beginners series to recommend to newbies.

Taught my two older girls to ride bikes, and today the road with no assistance. Perfect night to finish up my Father’s Day bourbon from 2017. 😄
