MSFT words I have to unpack in every meeting:

  • "ask" == "request"
  • "inbox" == "include"
  • "double click" == "discuss in detail"
  • "learnings" == "lessons"
  • "delighter" == "feature" (apologies to Kano)

IDK, man. Maybe testing on representative devices is actually too hard hard? But if you're gonna produce a "numbers every web developer should know" clout-farming thinkfluence feelpiece, maybe disambiguate compressed vs. uncompressed file sizes.

I used a grid method to get the character to approximate the image the kiddo picked. I drew the grid on the back of the poster, and I was using the outside light so I could see the grid from the front as I drew. When it's all done, the grid should not be visible.

The kiddo remembered the "pin the kissy lips on the frog" game they played on their 4th birthday and requested a "pin the nose on the Sonic" game for their 6th. I am attempting to oblige. I'm trying very hard not to make a mistake that requires me to start all over from scratch.

(Also, at about the time I finished transferring the pencils to the poster, I was like "Maybe there was a poster I could've just *bought*" But this way is more "fun" and stressful. 😆)

Watching the Apple event this morning, and presenters have used the term "AI" twice so far. It was almost jarring. I've never heard Apple use the term before.

Since I'm here, I'll just add that proprietary software app stores and the like have never been about quality. It's about rapidly and cheaply (in the sense of letting others do the work) creating a "market" a vendor can point at to bolster whatever platform they're shilling. Copying the form and function of these things without thinking through their purpose is likely a mistake.
