I love the little UFO icon that Dropbox uses for files it can’t show a thumbnail for.

I’ve been listening to Darknet Diaries a lot lately; it’s fascinating. Jack Rhysider is kind of like Kai Ryssdal for the internet underworld.

At 3:22 in “La Isla Bonita”, Madonna sings the McDonalds “I’m lovin’ it” riff, 17 years before McDonalds built an ad campaign around those notes.

That is some seriously subliminal, long-game product placement.

Ideal project: to be handed some really ugly UI, like RISC OS or Irix, and the brief is “you have complete freedom to fix this.”
