What did i miss?

A format designed for dictation ended up giving us mixtapes and portable music, as well as the Walkman.

On this day in 1963, Philips introduced the compact cassette at the Berlin Radio Exhibition.
It was originally designed for recording speech.

[WeDirectory @we_directory]

Earlier tape recorders used loose reels that had to be threaded by hand.
Philips put both reels inside one pocket-sized plastic case.
The company later licensed the format without royalties, helping it become a global standard.

More than five billion red envelopes were shipped before the DVD service ended.

On this day in 1997, Netflix was founded.
The website wouldn't launch until the following April, and the first DVD it mailed was Beetlejuice.

[WeDirectory @we_directory]

Before autoplay, original programming and the red "N," Netflix was a website for ordering physical DVDs through the mail.

G8 Creative Industries Festival's new identity treats the entire event like a food court!
Its 20+ creative disciplines become items on a menu, unfolded takeaway boxes form the graphic system, and a custom typeface shifts between three different proportions.

one camera is currently being passed between more than 80 photographers across 20+ countries.
each person gets it for about a week before emailing it to the next. the photographs will gradually form one shared camera roll and map as it travels.

@DrJimFan ah the oven mitt comparison is really telling for why vision alone isnt enough

@blazejkustra_ @expo @WebGPU hahaha the app store canon has been restored

finally, a physical monument to everything i was definitely going to read😅

Introducing Offprint™

The physical magazine made from everything you "save for later" but never actually go back to read.

Find online, read offline.

Print media is back!

Two months later, Robert Cornelius built a camera from a box and a lens taken from an opera glass.
The self portrait he made is now believed to be the earliest surviving photographic portrait made in America. Arguably also the first selfie ;)

[WeDirectory @we_directory]

The earliest exposures took between three and fifteen minutes.
Having your portrait taken involved sitting in direct light without moving - or blinking - for several minutes.

A daguerrotype was a highly detailed image formed directly on a sheet of silver-plated copper. (this is different from prints that come from negatives!)

[WeDirectory @we_directory]

📸Why is World Photography Day on August 19? 🌐

On this day in 1839, the daguerrotype process was explained publicly in Paris. So many people came that the crowd spilled into the courtyard...

@luke_orb reallyy like the tiny bit of inertia on the gesture

[WeDirectory @we_directory]

@ingi_erlingsson online identity used to feel a lot more constructed (handles, avatars, profile skins, signatures) and this feels sooo much closer to that than another static headshot

[WeDirectory @we_directory]

@eduardwieandt really like the way input still feels physically attached to the page while it's moving -- much nicer than suddenly switching into a separate reading mode!

[WeDirectory @we_directory]

@MengTo ahhh being able to prompt the interaction helps make this feel so much more like prototyping than page generation !!
