Funny you should mention the F word... while reading "The Great Divide", I was thinking about the "Flash designer vs. Flash Developer" situation we had before the iPhone :)

Thanks for taking the time, that is an illuminating point.

I remember spending countless hours arguing with someone who genuinely believed 'greed is good', a total waste of time, no progress whatsoever on either side.

Thinking about it now, my sparring partners attitude makes some sense, if 'advancing our material condition' is indeed the end game. It's like two engineers arguing about implementation details, without realizing they are designing different apps.

Buzzwords like 'Goal Oriented' or 'Understand your clients motivation' fly around, but your point gives them more dimension. Thanks.

People use the 'set in stone' phrase all the time, it puts a different spin on it when 6000 years later, we are still analyzing some poor guys tax returns. This is fascinating stuff, too bad data mining the mundane lives of social media users pays better.

Other than my own list of unread bookmarks, Google Readers signal to noise ratio (as a platform) was second to none. The feeds I followed would post 95% worthwhile content. A blog post is like a dinner speech, don't want to miss it. In social media the dinner speech is also available, only sandwiched somewhere between all the small talk and pleasantries. I never found a replacement, and quite a few people I followed cut down on blogging.

I got to live parallel to some of this. In the early 00's Agencies would send their designers/creatives/frontend devs to conferences that centered around Flash. Along with marketing talks and inspirational self help crap, the events gave a platform for some very smart/creative individuals. The enthusiasm drove a circle of innovation and competitiveness, which was good fun to watch. The scene has somewhat fallen off my radar since those days, but articles like this remind me of my soft spot for it.

That large image (the first one) are the little "twirly things" smaller "hurricanes" within the big one?

oh pleasche schqueesche me a fresch glasch of orangche jchuische. It's funny :)

I'm hoping robots, ai and UBI will liberate the masses from material obsession, leading to increased appreciation of the arts as vocation and entertainment, reviving and democratising our institutions. I fear reality will be more aligned with Black Mirror type scenarios.

Hehe thanks! I forgot to mention that I am indeed fun to work with ;)

If you google "portugal drug legalization study" you'll find plenty of positive results.

I heard somebody say "it's a dashboard application, not the dashboard of a car" when discussing gauge components.

The phone on the ground looks like it's got rounded edges like Samsung.

hehe.. I was just a few squares short of recreating drop it like it's hot :D

Ah, so the play in Braavos depicting recent events in Kings Landing is a Mise en abyme homage to Shakespeares Hamlet.

This would have been an excellent opportunity for a dad joke about Lenin and the Vodka bottle had he not prohibited alcohol in 1917.

I'm no expert on the matter, but I've read/heard plenty of proponents of Basic Income tying it hand in hand with the AI/Robot revolution. It seems there is an understanding that the current economic system will have to adapt.

I'm so bored of "OH NOES Robots and AI are stealing our jobs", when it should be "Robots and AI are finally liberating us from our jobs".

Here's a fairly detailed blog entry about some similar explorations : http://barradeau.com/blog/?p=194

So the combination is... da, da, da? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!

This is so much more fun than watching paint dry

Come on, don't be so harsh, the poor guy only has one wife!

The local/import map looks similar to the red/blue state map.

heh, I guess I just never have needed to write about millions of dollars on official documents.

Why does he use mm ($25mm)?

Ragnar dumps his Chinese girlfriend for Pocahontas. Rollo gets wind of these new adventures, immediately dumps his Parisian princess and swims to Tahiti for a life of Gauguin, further infuriating his inter-race-swingin bro. Floki giggles. Bjorn is even more bearded & pumped. There is still a diminishing side plot involving the British.
