Sadly, over 2/3 of us were laid off from SuperHi yesterday. I’ll miss being a part of that team, wish them all the very best! More context: https://piperhaywood.com/a-long-overdue-work-update/
I’m looking for new opportunities that would suit a design-adjacent front-end engineer who is passionate about accessibility, documentation, and building maintainable codebases. Ideally looking for a remote role at a USA- or UK-based org, or in-person at an NYC-based org.
Boosts appreciated! 💙
doodling in the sand with my son tuesday evening. just got back last night and miss the shore already!
right around here i stubbed my toe on a buried boulder yesterday, and it’s now purple and swollen (my toe, not the rock)
went out again w eb (after watching hot fuzz) and the sky was even clearer! saw lots of meteors, but also some weird small lights that i thought must be satellites or very high aircraft at first, but they were bobbing/curving through the sky very strangely, and would slowly go in and out of glowing sometimes. a strange variation of meteor? didn’t see them when we were out earlier
down at long point, watched the meteor shower with my kids for a bit just now. some big ones!

Optometrist George Mayerle’s 1907 multicultural eye chart is a fabulous piece of graphic design in its own right. https://circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov/2023/08/03/mayerles-lithographed-international-test-chart-1907/
i keep thinking about the ideas from this video. could this work in ontario? (don't get hung up on the hippy art aesthetic)

bothers me that spots like this — walkable, multi-level, human scale, tied in with nature — are so rare around here that they're basically exclusively used for weddings.
went to the fillmore in detroit last night with @yo_peej to see the national play. what an ornate space! excellent set too, def worth the drive.

Found on Bluesky, and thought I'd share here.
The Sad Bastard Cookbook: Food you can make so you don't die
From a co-author;
"I co-wrote a cookbook for depressed people and other folks with zero spoons, only knives. It's not meant to be gourmet cooking so much as a survival guide for late stage capitalism. And you can get it for free!"

"Getting rid of physical books because we now have databases is like getting rid of sunshine because of the existence of vitamin-D pills and cod liver oil." --love that.
a cogent plea for keeping physical libraries available:

Bonus pro-tip: Use 6- or 12-up muffin tins for toppings to make burger/taco bars.
here it is! now you can have it stuck in your head too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A2-Af5JEWU
i've got that AI heidi trailer theme song stuck in my head today
@derek i was wondering what it was like now since brexit! makes me wonder if smuggling happens to avoid the new tariffs and such
slouching like this defeats the ergonomic benefits of the keyboard, you say? maybe, but i'm still typing with my chest open instead of closed, forearm alignment is more relaxed, hands are draped rather than hovering. will def have to watch out for back/neck stiffness of course
