I don’t wanna act like this is a big honkin’ deal because there’s like 50 mini-problems I have with Tahoe app icons—

But do they really want different blues for Finder and Mail / Safari? And if so, could they perhaps choose more different blues, because these are too close.

Beta or not, when Apple shows before and afters on their own website, it’s totally fair to knock on them for legibility.

I have to wonder: Who at Apple really thinks this example is the best representation? And whoever knows it isn’t the best, why isn’t it addressed *before* the reveal?

I’m not crazy, right? Currently if you drag a .icon file made with Icon Composer onto a folder or app to change the icon, it just shows the ICON FILETYPE instead of the actual icon artwork?

Brilliant work, guys.

Before CarPlay, Men in Black II had this awesome embedded, in-car, oval Mac OS X display.

Still cracking up from this Wikipedia Talk page comment on Miral Group (the company that Disney is partnering with for Disneyland Abu Dhabi).

📊 I don’t use analytics on my website, so I’d love to know which your favorite wallpaper is from over the years. Is there one you keep coming back to? One that you always pick for a new computer? Is it one of these? Is it another one from my site? Please tell me!

Still can’t believe the stars aligned and Justine was at DisneySea the same day I was.

🌌 As you know, I love Star Wars. So today, I updated my *twenty-year-old* wallpaper and made 10 brand-new variants for a total of 12 different faction wallpapers. Not just Empire & Rebels anymore!

Read all about it, and download them for your phone, desktop, or tablet!

It’s the Revenge of the Fifth— The secret last day to get Womprat for just $100.

Womprat is capable of so much. It’s an extremely extensive toolbox of styles and characters. It supports 100 languages, has 400 icons, and 2000 ligatures. It’s as crazy as it sounds.

Make cohesive logos without manually selecting from the glyph panel. Just change stylistic sets for different looks!

The Crown website is very new, and this page is bonkers! Browse samples, view stylistic sets (and hover to see without). Test your own text. Select from 33 OpenType features. Browse and filter the character set. Hold the Option key to change checkboxes into radio buttons. This is practically an app!

Friends, it’s time again for the Womprat Dune Sea Special!

This week only, get Womprat—the best Star Wars font in the galaxy—for a special discounted price, just $100.

It’s been 18 years since the original iPhone.

And now—right now—even though my contact card as set as “me,” I still get reminded about my own birthday.

🌌🗾 I’ll be at Star Wars Celebration Japan on Friday, so if you see me, please say hello! (I’m the one on the left.)

I’ll have aurebesh “Womprat” and katakana “Star Wars” stickers. (While supplies last.) #SWCJ

I am so, so turned off when people ask me to spend my free time doing something for them without any kind of compensation.

The things I do for free are my hobbies. If someone’s expecting, requesting, or—god forbid—demanding things of me, it’s uh, not a hobby?? That’s a job.
