  1. Yak shaving is more fun when you know in advance that you'll be able to release the results.
  2. FV: Salt http://blog.willbenton.com/2010/03/salt/
  3. @freemanhunt Stuart Buck's blog is great; I've long been a fan.
  4. Yikes, with my entire iTunes library sorted by song title, I go straight from a von Karajan _Die Meistersinger_ to Autechre's LP5.
  5. New blog post: Kill the fat man http://blog.willbenton.com/2010/03/kill-the-fat-man/
  6. @artgillespie In that case, I'm in pretty good shape! Thanks.
  7. I'm going to have to be a lot older before the next time every bit in my age is on again.
  8. Usability fail: I visit facebook about once a week. I've tried to type a status update in the search box at least twice since the redesign.
  9. @ayjay Almost assuredly not.
  10. @ToddPeperkorn I really enjoyed it. I haven't watched Hustwit's follow-up (about industrial design) yet, but have heard it's good too.
  11. Regarding the music for Joannie Rochette's long program: Samson's hair isn't the only thing getting cut beyond recognition.
  12. This just in: unnecessary cuts to art music recordings are just as irritating in figure skating as they are in credit card commercials.
  13. @ericbrunstad I don't do icon design, but it seems that you really need both vectors and (occasional) pixel-precision for that kind of work
  14. @ericbrunstad Lab color is great for color correction, saturation adjustments, sharpening, and noise reduction. More for photos than design.
  15. @borkware @rentzsch you can't buy (good) alcohol on Sundays in Minnesota either — just diluted macrobrews @ 3.2% ABV or less.
  16. @ericbrunstad the feature I really miss elsewhere is support for Lab color, but in general ps has enough functionality to justify its quirks
  17. Man, the Aperture 3 upgrade process has turned my iMac into a pile of hot sand, and I haven't even started face detection yet.
  18. You know what would be awesome? Scott Hamilton doing color commentary for the Winter X Games. He could start with freestyle snowmobile.
  19. @Bagelturf I've had pretty good luck with MacTeX for technical writing, but it's missing some features from InDesign.
  20. @ayjay ...and I remember thinking "what a great joke! I'll be sure to remember it!" Then everything went black, with the MDs still laughing.
