It took me a little while to read through Trevorrow’s entire Duel of the Fates script, but it left me wondering what Disney disagreed with. Trevorrow’s finale was the ending the Star Wars sequel trilogy needed. I’d say this script would have taken the sequel trilogy from the bottom of the heap to for sure the middle of the heap, in terms of trilogies.
Roam Research really is a powerful, connective thinking tool that can have wide-ranging impacts for so many people. So far, Roam has been my rabbit hole tool — last night I sat down to do my day’s Bible study and got caught going down three or four extra passages because each of them connected to the next. The cool part about Roam is it gets more powerful the more you use it. And building out the “Roam Graph” is almost addicting.
The Guitar Hero of the video really ensures the difficulty of this song stands out. Crazy fun to watch his fingers fly around.
I’d say this blows Fast.com and Speedtest.net out of the water, personally. Lots of data to see here.
Founders Grotesk and Graphik are available to use free of charge, to name but a few.
It should be noted: Sandwich is the only video-slash-advertisement-slash-production company I recognize, by name. I think that tells the exact tale needed to showcase Sandwich’s team’s talent.
Count me as one of those guys surprised by that first laptop stand. I’m going to give one of the three stands I have sitting in my closet a shot before ordering, but that cheapo Amazon stand looks surprisingly great.
Well said by Mr. Birchler (who, might I add, has been on fire recently. You should subscribe to his site.) Going stock-apps-only is an increasingly honourable way to go. I’m stock Mail, Messages, and Safari, but third-party everything else.
I’m much the same as Snell: There are times when I’m working on a Mac where I run into a task I can only — or, perhaps, far more efficiently — complete on an iPad. The number of these tasks is increasing, to the point where I’d say, at best it’s a 50/50 split. In all likelihood, I’m probably 80/20 in favour of the iPad.
Crazy statistic in here: “Meanwhile, our household debt as a per cent of net disposable income is at 182 per cent compared to 105 per cent in the U.S.” Someone told me once that living through 18% interest rates was the hardest thing of their financial lives. I’m starting to think a combination of 2% interest rates and 52% tax rates is even worse.
