The typography poster has an error regarding LEADING. In two places, it shows leading as baseline to cap height. In fact, it's measured baseline to BASELINE. And speaking of fonts, check out this change by Microsoft, of the default font changing from Calibri (for the last 17 years) to Aptos. The change is particularly great because the Calibri capital I and lower case l (L) letters look identical. That makes the word Illustration... a bother. Imagine how many sentences with those two letter combinations... don't need to be REREAD! https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/28/technology/microsoft-word-font-aptos.html

@markfrauenfelder if you check out Mark Weimels youtube channel he reviews a ton of camera stuff and gives really good explanations of how things work and how each piece works together with other pieces (lenses, camera bodies, the triad, chromatic aberration, distortion, fringing, glares, etc.). i have been watching his and a few others as I learn photography and camera stuff.. for my photo/video taking and also in setting up my podcast studio to record video podcasts. which camera did you get your wife? curious to know

Blue LEDs. And yes it’s fascinating.

I went to Ryan Holiday's site to look at his list and he lead with a story about the business insight of Dov Charney.

I would think that from now, to the end of time, the only thing that should be said about Dov Charney is that he spent decades sexually assaulting women and sexually harassing women.

Oh, by the way, he's a racist too. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dov_Charney)

Is it really a good idea to promote the work of someone who praises a rapist?

My eldest loved the blue laser info. He's going through loads of Veritasium videos now!

The link referenced in the Humburger photography guide is in German, and there doesn’t appear to be a way to translate it into English.
