  • Asking LLMs: Will My Work Have Any Effect On The World?
This Archive was originally inspired and based upon Dynamicland Archive. I used to maintain a quotes anthology that was as well inspired by Maestro Bret Victor's collection of quotes. For that and most of my work and inspiration, I am forever in debt and a student of Maestro. • Thanks to Zea Akbari, Shirin Asemi, Behrouz Kari, Tanya Kari, Ashkan Bonakdar Shirazi, Micha Hanselmann, Khashayar Danesh, Amin Hadei, Mohammad Hosein Ansari, Hamidreza Rezeaee, and Reza Baradaran, for their support is what started me and kept me going • Thanks to Maestros: Bret Victor, Douglas Carl Engelbart, Alan Curtis Kary, Donald Ervin Knuth, Ivan Sutherland, Chris Granger, Richard Matthew Stallman, Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff, Herbert Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, Hans-Georg Moeller who's work gave my life joy, excited me, gave me a bigger purpose, and ultimately became the foundation for all I am, and all my work. • Thanks to Master Donald Knuth for the most elegantly designed and most perfectly engineered, Computer Modern family of typefaces, and thanks to the wonderful Bogusław Jackowski, Janusz M. Nowacki, and Marcin Woliński who brought it to the OpenType format as Latin Modern. Also thanks a lot to Nina Belikova for her more than amazing Lotion typeface. • The LavaScroll™ is my love letter to the design of the scrollbar present in Mac OS X Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. One night, I dreamed about that scrollbar, and saw it as a Lava Lamp, and so the next day could not help myself but to make it! I never found out who designed that scrollbar, but they are my unsung hero. • Designs here are inspired by the works of Zea Akbari, the movie Toy Story, Apple's first iterations of the iBook software, Herge's Tintin, LEGO, Art Deco Elevators, All Pixar Animations, The Severance Series, the long gone Path social network, the first version of Paper by FiftyThree, Apple iBook, Jimmy Newton and the Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, All of Maestro Donald Knuth's layouts and print designs, and Art Deco elevators. • To anyone else who I have forgot to mention, thank you and thanks for all the fish.
