The Death of cool How About Some Fucking Whimsy? The original front-door to MLKSHK when we were in pre-launch mode. You had to click and drag-out a circle to get inside. The error page you see is also a joke because we use Nginx. Two years ago I wrote a post with the subtitle “Complain about the way other people make software by making software.” I am not into tricks to get users like faking engagement or sucking names out of your contact list. Related to those tricks are dark patterns where developers purposely make things confusing or challenging for users so they can bill one more month or hope the user doesn’t notice they’ve sent out a few thousand friend requests to their landlord, mother, and people who bought a stereo off of them six years ago. I believe people who do these things can go jump in a lake. The only only only thing I think about when building things for people is creating delight. Shit needs to work! So yeah, make delightful things. These are the things I believe and this is how I build things.
19 Before And After Photos Of Butterfly And Moth Transformations There may be no greater transformation than a moth to a butterfly. Since grade school the incredible phenomena is described and witnessed, a slithery little caterpillar crawls about for a bit before wrapping itself tightly into a cocoon. And the next thing you know, a beautiful winged butterfly emerges. The actual process going on within the cocoon is truly amazing. Generally you see a caterpillar, or you see a butterfly, and sometimes you are lucky enough to see a cocoon, but unless you have a pet moth or butterfly you don’t see before and after photos of the same creature wearing different skin. Moths and butterflies are very similar, in fact the more science uncovers about these magical winged creatures, the more blurred their differences appear. Spicebush Swallowtail Phobetron Pithecium Located in the Limacodidae moth family, the larva are known as monkey slugs. Acharia Stimulea Glasswing Butterfly The glasswing butterfly is unique for more than just its transparent wings. Acraga Coa
this isn't happiness™ Peteski 100 Things Every 20-Something Needs To Realize In 2015 Every new year we make promises to ourselves to make significant changes in our lives in the upcoming 365 days. We all have our resolution or list of resolutions — even if it’s only a mental list. Making changes — lasting changes — isn’t a simple task because it doesn’t just require a change in action, it requires a change in mindset. But how can you change your mindset unless you understand what your mindset truly is? That’s why I recommend writing down realizations and theories you have on just about everything and anything going on in your life or on life itself. Just sit down and make a nice long list of some of the beliefs you have, making sure to go over it later to better understand the way you see the world. I have my list of 100 here to share with you. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60.
