Quote

 All the things that we create, whether you have a big audience, or whether you're just making stuff for the folks close to you. Sure - maybe those things you make will be forgotten. Or maybe the things that you create will get laid down as someone's long-term memory, and affect them a lot later in their life. So, make nice things. Try to give people something they'll be nostalgic about, not something they'll flashback to. You never know what impressions you might be making for the future. 

~Tom Scott

Foolproof

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools

~Douglas Adams

Only words

What others say to us and what we say to others can last a long time, for good or for evil. The casual sarcastic or critical remark can inflict a lasting injury on another person. The well-timed encouragement or compliment can inspire someone for the rest of their life.

~ David Guzik

This is terrifying.

And true.

And we don't know which of our words will be quickly forgotten, and which will have a lasting effect.

Lord, set up a guard for my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

~Psalm 141v3

Caffeine

No caffeine for an entire month! 😯

Wonder how long I can keep this up.

Expensive design?

If I were to spend considerably more than my year's income on a watch, I would want the text on its face to be somewhat more professionally designed than what looks like Zapf Chancery (a ubiquitous off-the-peg font) set in all caps (which swash capitals should not be).

Wood 🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳 Tree 🌳

It's not good to be unable to see the wood for the trees.

But nor is it good to be unable to see the trees for the wood.

A balance is necessary.

 

(I tend to lean towards the former, I suspect)
