I was about to say this feels like a Jeffrey Scudder piece. Then I hit the about, and it IS a Jeffrey Scudder piece. Jeffrey, I love your work, and it's great to see you making more paint tools!

I've used a 12.9" iPad Pro as a laptop replacement since its release in 2018 and I'm happy about the particular series of yesses that have led to this latest OS release. I've developed a number of workflows that would ne

This brings back such good memories of playing this for this first time on my Amiga 2000. The article offers a wonderful breakdown of the fairly astonishing amount of invention that went into development. Especially given that it was primar

I'm currently working on a client project that uses the Vuforia library paired with an array of iPad Pros to pull off this sort of AR-light effect. But Vuforia relies on a tracking marker, and it's a huge pain in the ass for us. T
