In my experience, teaching has a way of ballooning to fill whatever time you have. Teaching one class feels like just as much work as teaching three, partly because either way you have to be available to students outside of class - office h

The new one is not completely flat, there's some really subtle shading there. I like it a lot. More elegant.

The idiotic modal window is bad enough, but the new Gmail Compose also breaks basic shortcut keys (such as Command+left or right arrow to skip to the end of a line), at least in Firefox on my Mac. And pasting text in "Plain text"

For the most part it's excellent, and I love Hische's work, but the lowercase 'm' is not as distinct as before. It looks like it says "MailChirry".

Firefox already has that, there's a little "Box Model" tab with a little diagram showing padding, margins, and so on.

You have got to be kidding. That looks terrible and wastes half the space on the screen. It's not even very good skeuomorphism, the drop shadows aren't in a consistent direction, and the layering of the brushes and canvas doesn't make sense

The home page looks terrible on my 13" Macbook Pro, the illustration takes up almost the entire screen. Everything feels oversized and unbalanced.

Thank you, pmoz and callahad. Email received. I assumed it had just slipped through the cracks, no hard feelings. I did receive an awesome Game On t-shirt, and the Buckyballs.

"Does Apple have a single other remaining app with a modal preferences dialog?" What is Gruber talking about? The "Preferences" dialogs in Pages, Keynote and iBooks Author work exactly the same way as the one in iTunes.

If you're looking for suggestions: If you really want people to use this as a writing tool, make the interface itself more tranquil - the "Tranquillity" title is distracting, and the poem title typeface is awful. Not everyone who writes poe
