Re: SF Eats: Matching Half Cafe to change hands; why Souvla remains closed; more

TRMW — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 20:17:35 -0000

Further down in that New Yorker article, there's this quote from Charles:

“Restaurants are the new manufacturing of the U.S., in every town and city, little factories producing food,” he said. “I do see an opportunity for a restaurant like Souvla, that has an established brand, that has all of these physical assets, to reëmerge as this little collection of mini Greek-food factories that can produce and distribute the same dishes that people have been eating over the years. Souvla is not going anywhere. Souvla is going to reopen. What might change is how it gets to you.”

Glad to hear they're definitely coming back.

Re: Out Of The Ashes Of FilmStruck, The Criterion Channel Rises: New Independent Streaming Service Launches In 2019

TRMW — Sat, 17 Nov 2018 16:56:50 -0000

"According to the release, not only with Criterion be pulling from its extensive library of classic films to showcase, complete with special features like commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, and original documentaries, but the streaming service will also feature films from WarnerMedia’s massive library, specially curated for this experience."

I don't see anything in the statement to support this. It says Criterion will available on Warner's new service, but there's not thing about Warner catalog being on the new independent Criterion Channel. Am I missing something?

Beautiful film. Seems like something got lost in translation in the third paragraph of the this post though?

I'd love to know who makes the shelves holding the stereo in the living room photo.

Think there's a typo here: "There’s an 'activation lock' to keep stolen iPhones from being reactivated without your iCloud device..." You meant iCloud account, right?

Woah, what happened between September '06 and March '07? Quite a spike there.

Great intro. Thanks Beau!

Re: Identifying conflicts in a UI design - (Ryan Singer)

TRMW — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 23:46:30 -0000

Thanks for this post, Ryan. It definitely rings true for my work. I've just finished up a project that involved streamlining an internal tool that had accumulated a Frankenstein's patchwork of mostly useful features, added incrementally and totally ad-hoc. The resulting UI was loaded with domain knowledge (things that people needed to get their work down) but extremely confusing and slow. It was trying to do way too many things at once, both visually and technically, throwing up a ton of arbitrarily arranged data, and hitting a million different database tables to do so. I found that respecting the domain knowledge that was encoded in the current design and thinking about what it already did right, what it was trying to do, and how it could better meet those needs allowed me to remove some of the convicts in the implementation in both the eye/brain and implementation areas. The new UI is easier to grasp at a glance, and a lot faster.

Re: NYT’s Opinion Pages continue the march toward app-inspired design

Definitely agree with you re: the hamster wheel model being off-base. There's way too much good stuff to read out there, and I find myself increasingly gravitating towards carefully curated, human-paced sites. I recently unfollowed all of NYT's Twitter accounts for this very reason. That said, I'm sure some people enjoy the firehose.

Awesome! Yes, I'd definitely love to hear an MP3 of that. I had it on tape for a long time, but not sure where it is at this point. Ah, to be young and nerdy.

Re: UsabilityPost - CSS Hover Controls On the iPhone

Thanks for the tip! Worth noting that this doesn't give you the ability to hide the hover links by clicking on the #link again. That would require Javascript.

They've got it playing on an infinite loop if you click though the link.
Even more hypnotic!

Just tried this out and it looks like it currently ignores custom CSS you've entered into the Customize tab on Disqus. Bummer! Once this is fixed I'd love to try it out again.

These posts are definitely getting a bit weird and personal. Who cares who she sleeps with? This is not high school.

Er, woops, I accidentally just posted a photo response to this on the Tumblr dashboard. Please feel free to delete it - I got confused by the little camera icon.

I saw these guys live in San Francisco a couple months ago. Totally random since I don't really know their music. We had a friend visiting from out of town specifically to see the show. Really enjoyable stuff -- totally dated and sweet and pretty.

That really is an awesome story. I was lucky enough to see this exhibit at SFMOMA -- highly recommended. Kerouac’s various drafts of the intro are a highlight.
