I never seem to run out of projects to do. Some slosh around as mere ideas until I decide not to do them for whatever reason, but even so there’s enough to go around and then some.

Jokes about Starbucks’ drink-size names are old enough to drink, drive, and vote by now, but calling the 30-oz. size “trenta” is probably the least dumb name in the history of names for sizes

@movq@www.uninformativ.de “How does one interpret those numbers? Does it mean that people usually died at about 30 years or is that really an average, meaning lots of children died but those who survived still reached something like 70 years?” -> It’s the mean, so there is a lot of bias in there w/r to infant mortality. I don’t know about median age of death.

Nice to see the Touch ID home button isn’t dead in the iPad.

thinking about a building something in the realm of !gesture that could work alongside !gest. The core principle of gest is line construction using breakpoints and an external clock. This new system, which I think I will call sloop, is more about making lines using slope. It would work by sending it messages: go from here, to there, in some amount of time, and use an external clock. If it reaches there, you have arrived. If a new message arrives before you get there, you are already here, now you have a new there. I think this approach would lend itself well to more open-ended kinds of gestures. #halfbakedideas
