UX friends: I've been wanting for a few years to stop using the problematic term "master" when talking about the "master/detail" UX pattern. What are people using instead?

Map by @NatGeo shows the oil and gas pipelines leading from Russia to Europe. Studying this map is crucial when trying to understand geopolitical tensions in the region. Push to renewables in Europe is also a push towards geopolitical independence. Source: https://t.co/ENKL74FPZN

Any design friends (or anyone else interested in book arts, paper making, or craftsmanship): if you're at #CODEX this week, be sure to stop by to see my sis @solsken and her latest Hanji Edition (https://t.co/oRN4xnD0dZ) work at table #46!

The pandemic has changed how I perceive time. I feel like there is less in a day. Time has been stretched yet compacted at the same time.

How has your outlook on time changed?

I have to say I’m really liking this new iPad 27.

[Eric Kim @huafi]

With an Apple Silicon chip inside (significantly faster than the one in the current AppleTV 4K), plus a great display, audio, mics, camera, etc — why didn’t Apple make the Studio Display capable of acting as a standalone smart streaming and FaceTime/Zoom terminal?

Word of the day on Boston: “done”

My occasional Facebook spelunking yielded this auto-generated gem today. I really wonder what their algorithm thinks of me.

@DougCollinsUX Would love to give it a read, Doug!

@robgo Let it rip. Given your kids’ ages, the window in which they might still laugh is rapidly closing.

Powerful scene in Succession S03E03 depicting the coordination of law enforcement agencies, represented by the Arial FBI, the Franklin Gothic FBI, the Univers FBI, the Impact FBI, and even the Aachen FBI.

This was my second reaction, after I finally succeeded in rolling my eyes right side out again.

The assholes at #Facebook are naming themselves Meta, 42 (the answer is 42!) years after I named our design company #MetaDesign in 1979. Guess it’s not worth fighting over it. Happy to know that gilding a turd won’t change its substance.

College enrollment is dropping precipitously among US men, a/t a typically thought-provoking piece by @profgalloway. Unanswered: how will it change society that in our next generation women are significantly more educated than men? https://t.co/xJN6n6gpYc

While I can't say much about the devices, I do appreciate the launch-event branding for these Samsung foldable phones.

@mallonbob The question is: what will you play in response?

[Eric Kim @huafi]

@perryhewitt Nothing compared to this scene from behind a nearby shop selling jams and chutneys. No, really.
