Technology is embedded into everything now, no industry left untouched—there’s money to be made, new empires to be created!—and that process is long, slow, repetitive. Laying the groundwork and infrastructure to move a lot faster later. The thing is, though, this thinking is so small. Painfully small. A slice of a market segment of another slice of another slice and so on. It’s all perfectly reasonable, but it’s not enough.Higher Standards, Rebekah Cox

Hoefler & Co. has released Operator, their first take on a monospace font, and it looks fantastic. It’s full of character, especially with its playful, but still readable, set of italics. I’ll probably set this up over the weekend in Terminal and Sublime Text.

Fantastic double exposure work by Brandon Kidwell. I really fell in love with this technique when it was used in the opening for the first season of True Detective — I may have to give it a try at some point. (via Abduzeedo).

In November I spent a month in New York City where I animated a new GIF every day for 30 days inspired by something that happened during my stay.
The GIFs alone are great, but the composition and sound design for this video make this really fantastic.

The First Person to Hack the iPhone Built a Self-Driving Car. In His Garage.
The car does, more or less, have it. It stays true around the first bend. Near the end of the second, the Acura suddenly veers near an SUV to the right; I think of my soon-to-be-fatherless children; the car corrects itself. Amazed, I ask Hotz what it felt like the first time he got the car to work.
“Dude,” he says, “the first time it worked was this morning.”

Kickin’ Buckets
A personal look at falling behind on Buckets and where I plan to go from here. Should explain why things have been a bit quiet around these parts.
