Writing

Reading from computer screens is about 25% slower than reading from paper. Even users who don't know this human factors research usually say that they feel unpleasant when reading online text. As a result, people don't want to read a lot of text from computer screens: you should write 50% less text and not just 25% less since it's not only a matter of reading speed but also a matter of feeling good. http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9703b.html

Jonathan Safran Foer. Photograph: AP I did not intend to write Everything Is Illuminated . I didn't intend anything – the book was the result of instincts rather than plans. But as I began to fill pages, I imagined that the result would take the form of a non-fictional chronicle of a trip that I made to Ukraine as a 20-year-old. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/mar/20/jonathan-safran-foer-everything-illuminated

http://blog.makezine.com/ Absolutely epic maker tale from former Atari dev Scott Williamson, who writes: So, you may be wondering why anyone would bother to make a version of a 30 year old vector arcade game on an arcane 33 year old platform? I was inspired by one of the greatest and most influential game programmers of all time to make something that he said was impossible. I don’t consider this a game development project, rather an alternative history art piece, a demonstration that it could indeed be done. Back story: Porting Star Castle to the 2600 was the first assignment of now-legendary Atari game pioneer Howard Scott Warshaw, who eventually decided that “a decent version couldn’t be done” on the console hardware, and reorganized the core gameplay elements of Star Castle into Yar’s Revenge , which went on to become Atari’s best-selling original title for the 2600. Now story: Williamson, who worked for Atari starting in ’87, became fascinated with the Star Castle challenge.

Vionnet Fall 2011 from style.com So I've just realized that Vionnet is everything that want to wear right now. When did it get so good and why have I not been keeping up? I also think that Fran kind of looks really really amazing in Vionnet. http://shouldbeonthenanny.blogspot.com/
