Friday Stuff
Links, links, links. Life is a series of links. Shit happened this week. Here’s a few things that caught my eye:
Tobias Frere-Jones is suing Jonathan Hoefler (via everywhere). The typography duo that brought you THE typeface of the 2000s—Gotham—is in court. This should remind you never to be envious of a perfect company or perfect marriage. They don’t exist.
DENHAM PSYCHO (via Quipsologies). Well-executed (no pun intended) hipster remake of the business card and axe scenes in American Psycho (It’s incredible how many guys in San Francisco look exactly like the ones depicted in this video).
Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee with Jay Leno. This episode is great. Most of em are. I’m happy Jerry is back with a new season.
MAMP. It let’s you use your Mac as a server for local testing. I’m using it to work on a new WordPress site. It’s been around a while, but it’s new to me (Hey, cut me some slack, I’m a designer, not a dev).
One-third of the 8,500 or so taxi drivers in San Francisco … have ditched driving a registered cab in the last 12 months to drive for a private transportation startup like Uber, Lyft, or Sidecar instead. Woah.
The Bacon Method. Set oven to 400 degrees. Toss in tray of bacon. Set timer for 20 minutes. Then you have perfectly cooked bacon.
