Triple murder in Higuerote to rob a store:

Criminals beheaded the owner and slit the throats of two employees.

Woman’s throat slit during butcher shop robbery:

She was with her two sons, ages 1 and 7, when she was taken by surprise by a robber who tried to snatch her purse while she shopped.

When she realized this, she struggled with the robber, who took out a scalpel and slit her throat. The woman collapsed and the robber escaped.

Jesus H. Christ, what the fuck is going on in this country?!

GPOYW. I’m at something called QS World Grad School Tour at the JW Marriott, but there’s like a bajillion people so I’m hanging out by the pool instead.

Edit: Oops, wrong photo. Just pretend there’s a pool in the background.

Totally true. But if I haven’t sent you any, it just means I don’t love you. Sorry!

LiveView for iPhone & iPad:

LiveView is a specialized remote screen viewing application intended as a tool to help designers create graphics for mobile applications, it has also proven to be useful for creating quick and dirty simulations, demos, and experience prototypes.

Develop pixel–perfect graphics for the iPhone and iPad quickly and easily with a live view of your canvas/artboard while you work. LiveView is compatible with both standard and Retina displays.

With your iPhone or iPad tethered via WiFi, you can interact with software prototypes and demos running on your Mac to communicate and iterate your concepts quickly.

This is amazing. (Via Peter Vidani.)

JavaScript Tools bundle for Textmate

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:07:04 -0400

JavaScript Tools bundle for Textmate:

The bundle does two main things:

It lets you run JavaScript Lint from within TextMate, making it much quicker and easier to check your scripts for any problems. It’s sort of (but not quite) like validating your markup or CSS.

It gives you quick access to a variety of formatting and compression tools, like Dean Edwards Packer, YUI! Compressor, and JSMin. If you don’t have a workflow setup that automatically compresses your scripts when they go into production this will really speed things up.

Interactive Sketching Notation

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:34:25 -0400

Interactive Sketching Notation:

The interactive sketching notation is an emerging visual language which affords the representation of interface states and event-based user actions. Through a few simple and standardized rules, what the user sees (drawn in greys and blacks) and does (drawn in red) are unified into a coherent sketching system. This unification of both interface and use, intends to enable designers to tell more powerful stories of interaction.

Why working at home is both awesome ~~and horrible~~. Fortunately for me, I have no social skills to speak of, so stressed relationships and lack of employee banter are not an issue. WIN.

You know, copying Twitter’s OAuth screen and changing the look & feel to make it look like an official Tumblr OAuth screen to mislead people into handing over their login credentials is a completely dishonest and very shitty thing to do, TumblrCloud. If you’ve used this “service”, you should change your Tumblr password, like Abby suggests.

I love San Francisco so much, I’m watching this horrible Ben Stiller movie just because part of it is set in San Francisco and I like the exterior shots. That’s how much I love San Francisco.

Also because Malin Akerman is insanely hot, but mostly because of San Francisco.

Frank Chimero’s advice to design students:

Hard to pick just one to quote, but I like this one:

If you meet a person who cares about the same obscure things you do, hold on to them for dear life.

As reported in the New Hampshire Sentinel, June 20, 1855, via Wondermark:

The Albany Argus has espoused the beard movement. This is its argument: – “We have come to the conclusion that the practice of shaving is alike ridiculous and absurd, and that it violates one of the laws of nature. Now, our beard was not given us for no purpose – that is evident. It was created for some wise purpose, and that was to keep the face and throat warm, and thus be conducive to health. Let us look at a few facts. It has been calculated that if one shaves three times a week, it grows twenty times as fast as if he did not shave. Allowing two inches as the annual growth of the beard, it will be seen that a man cuts off forty inches, or more than a yard of hair a year, and the nutriment which supports this, and is thus wasted, might have gone to nourish other parts of the body, and render him a healthy and handsome man! Again, allowing twenty minutes to each shaving operation, three times a week, amounts to one hour a week, – fifty-two hours a year. Supposing a man to shave forty years, we find he has consumed about three months in the simple act of shaving ; and calculating the expense of each operation at the small sum of six cents, we find it has cost him three hundred and sixty dollars. In view of these facts, we cannot but regard the practice of shaving as a decidedly barbarous one, and which ought to be discountenanced by the progressive civilization of the age.”
