Kevinsky's Comments

A bit over the top, but not really much different from some of the rules around the US flag: for example, you're not supposed to degrade it by using it in advertising or product packaging, or wearing it as clothing or as some kind of cape.

Captain America and Wonder Woman have really led you all astray. So I'm sure the French can ignore their flag laws just as surely as the Americans do.

I was once subject to horror stories about my future unemployability due to my atrocious handwriting, but then we got an Amiga 1000 and my days of fretting over my handwriting-stunted job prospects were behind me.

I still can't write neatly, never could.

ANYways, the other question is, can you use this font in other apps? The video only shows it being used in their app.

PRO-cess vs PRAH-cess is always a debate for us when we're hiring voice talent.

If it's for a Canadian market, we don't worry about it. If it's for a US market, we argue about whether Americans prefer PRO-cess or PRAH-cess and wonder why they're so picky about it. I hear people using both all the time, and I understand what the person is saying.

Know why an empty or sideways bottle of Molson Export is sometimes referred to as an Armadillo? The ship in the logo resembles an armadillo when the bottle is lying on its side.

Harry Potter drinks Pumpkin Juice! That's a type of squash.

Seriously though, I was aware of the term squash for juice, but this is not commonly used in commonwealth countries. I live in a commonwealth country and most people I know wouldn't know this term.

I'm right there with David Thorne when he's responding to people trying to get him to do free design work, and I thought it was funny when he tried to pay his bill with a picture of a spider.

But in this one, he's just a dick. She's not a business trying to get free work, she's a coworker asking for help; and he chose to be a dick. He could have said no, he's too busy, but he chose to deliberately waste her time when she could have sought help elsewhere.

Yeah, I know she could have made her flyer herself in Word in five minutes. That doesn't make David Thorne any less of a dick for wasting her time and mocking her distress.

The directionality of stadium Waves is at least realistic compared to the water down the drain thing.

That, I'm afraid, depends more on the shape of the sink than the location of the sink

Is it All You Can Eat?

There is an AYCE sushi place called Ye's Sushi in Kitchener, Ontario that charges you a dollar for each piece of sushi left on the plate. So you don't order a hundred of each kind and put them out of business.

Downside (for them) is that it helped us realize how much sushi we actually want to eat without stuffing ourselves silly, and found that we can buy that amount a la carte via takout, for cheaper than sitting down and paying for the All You Can Eat.

It has also resulted in the occasional piece of sushi squished between two plates so they won't notice.

I'm on the fence on the dogs vs cats thing. I can't think of a single good reason why I can't love both.

So the dog fanboys and the cat fanboys can fight it out, I'll be happy with all the dogs and cats in my life!

Where I live, if you want to drive that thing without having to get a motorcycle license, it will need working pedals. You might never use the pedals, but you have to be able to use the pedals to qualify as a bicycle rather than a powered m-class vehicle.

Our technical director is so good, that he has kept our Avid edit suite running in top condition since 1996. WindowsNT, 286 processor.

I ignore 8 critical error messages every single time I turn it on. Have of them have to do with when they changed Daylight Savings time. NT just can't hack it.

The point is, mid-90s computing sucked, I know this because I live it every time I have to use that 1996 Avid, and the limitations of Windows NT would drive me crazy if I didn't have two other edit suites rocking relatively new Final Cut/Mac Pro suites.
