10 years ago, I got divorced, lost my job, so me and my buddy got on our motorcycles and rode North to the Alaskan Arctic until the road ran out.

it honestly just makes me really sad. The renders are super dope, but there’s no doubt also talented product and interface designers whose work is just. not being shown. Just total clowning all around.

*shows off zero actual UI*.
For the latest #Copilot experience, our team leaned into a signature ribbon motif that was fluid, dimensional, and symbolic of seamless interaction 🤝. We paired this with a clean, focused UI and subtle mica glass materials to prioritize clarity and flow across every screen 💻

Interestingly, this goes for almost all things. Signs/sign painting. Carpentry. Ceramics. Icon design. Everything has been optimized for easy creation, which eroded the main barrier to entry: having to master a craft’s complex tools & methods, which led to better products.

Until 2008, when emoji brought it back. Welcome back, manicule. 👉.
Between the 12th and 18th centuries, the MANICULE (☞) was likely the single most common symbol used in marking texts anywhere. Yet, it strangely disappeared from marginalia in the 1800s. (Sherman, 2005). Odd, since everyone intuitively knows what it means.

Since becoming a dad I’ve turned down every upgrade offer for flights and instead deposit their cost into my 2-year old daughter’s savings account. It makes less legroom feel fantastic
