FANAP is basically an ADHD organization, it doesn’t have a strict goal, experiments everywhere, goes for any creative pursuit, and leaves many of them halfway…
I like to believe that all people are creative and should be independent. But if that was true, how could Maestro Wolfram make all of this? If no one agreed to build his dream instead of their own?
And most people don’t have good ideas. I don’t know it is because they inherently don’t have good ideas, or that the world has given them broken Mind Ecosystems that deprived them of being able to synthesize great ideas.
I spend the last day building simulated lights around a lighthouse that rotate with scrolling. The team will kill me if they know…
1285 : A place to be “whole humans”.
Yesterday’s WWDC were basically: We have an innovative new sidebar design that is the sidebar design with had before the current sidebar, the current sidebar that made everyone hate us on the web. Apple really can’t come and say: “Hey we heard you, and we reversed the feature”
And so they also had the innovative design of uniform window roundness in all their apps (which they had, but then introduced the many different styles, only to reverse them)
Sad part is I really loved all the Liquid Glass designs. And I loved the super rounded windows. Adorno and Horkheimer were right in that math will optimize everything. I hope I die before I see the masses reduce 1285 to something like this…
S. ████████ was telling me its really hard to have children these days, and a worse thing is not have any institutional support.

I spent so much time observing the nuances of different fountain pen ink colors that quite literally, when my wife and I are describing colors of things in the world around us, we use fountain pen ink names. Like, oh wow, I love the color of that car, It looks like Diamine blue velvet.
I’ll never forget one doctor uh who was a customer of ours, you know, served in Doctors Without Borders in a war torn country, who said that the ritual of cleaning out and inking her pens was the thing that she did to de-stress while she was out on assignment. I thought that was so cool.
Who hasn’t gone furniture shopping and thought, “Geez, I could probably build something like that myself and spend a lot less money.” Famous last words.
