I have heard that same idea applied to the likes of Jordan or Jay-Z. Be out there taking shots from the foul line or write a 16 every day. I haven't figured out how to translate that to writing code or building a product. What would it be

I was frustrated with a project I was working on a couple weeks back and wanted to just hack on something totally different. As a result, I wrote code to display the clock in tmux as a binary clock[1]. As someone who does not do a lot of

Thanks for the link... I like walking around the mall after a day of work and examining the typefaces used in all the store windows. I am a programmer first, so its probably pretty boring to the average designer. For me, its like there is

Thanks for the heads up with that book... I was wondering if there was a K&R for typography.

How can you tell? Are you able to tell what a typeface is just by looking at it? What characteristics help you decide ? I have been trying to learn about typography, passively, for the past couple months. Anything sans serif looks like He

I would say Food Network shows DO show a lot of faces. They are very much about selling a brand. Just walking through the local Target housewares aisle, I see Rachel Ray, Giada, Paula Deen, Barefoot Contessa, Bobby Flay, etc, all with the

During his day, Edison would take time out by himself and relax in a chair or on a sofa. Invariably he would be working on a new invention and seeking creative solutions to the problem he was dealing with. He knew that if her could get into

Conversely, I would imagine this is why people hate on Bing. They associate it with Microsoft, an 'evil empire', and must figure it is shit search (or whatever negative connotation they have with the company).
