I spent a lot of time on that. 32x32 pixels is an awfully small canvas, but it is a very interesting constraint. The hint of the hallway to the left is what makes it work.

I still find myself drawn into the Colony icon every time I look at it. It couldn't have been easy translating the magic of the game's real-time 3D wireframe graphics into static form, but I think @gocroquet managed to make it enticing without sacrificing legibility. #macicons
The icon for classic Mac game The Colony. It depicts a corridor receding into the distance, with a creepy floating giant eye in the foreground.

The parallels between Musk and Putin are striking. No one believed Putin would invade Ukraine and implode, as no one believed Musk would buy Twitter and implode. The conventional wisdom is wrong because it fails to understand the irreducible conflict they're both pursuing.

Paul Graham - founder of Y Combinator, and someone who was supportive of Elon Musk since the Twitter takeover - announced he’s taking a break from Twitter, and suggested people can find his Mastodon account on his website. He was banned a few hours later. I cannot believe it…

Nazi Andrew Anglin is trending because Musk has reinstated his account on Twitter. Let me remind everyone that Anglin said Tucker Carlson’s show is “basically ‘Daily Stormer: The Show'” — a reference to Anglin’s website. He has called Carlson “literally our greatest ally.”

Red Storm Entertainment Founders photo! Do you remember? That is me sitting in front to the right of Tom Clancy. Brian Upton (designer of Rainbow Six and the new Croquet Studios game) is directly behind Doug Littlejohns who is sitting left of Tom. Frank Boosman is far left.

I remember the day I learned to read. I was looking at a phonics card for the first time and it happened to have the letters "ph" next to a picture of a phone. I went, "oh shit!"

This is so sad... This happens a LOT. Apple seems to have stopped testing their software a few years back. ("Safari" ... need I say more?)
