Look at your fish
I recently upgraded my phone and discovered that the new version of iOS was running way too slow on my iPhone 5. But the new San Francisco font sure does look nice. I suffered with a slow ass phone for a few days, and then decided to just burn it all down and reinstall everything from scratch with iOS 8.
It worked! My phone is much faster, and I got rid of dozens of apps that I never use in the process.
As I was deciding which things to re-install, I came across Robin Sloan’s Fish in the (embarrassingly long) list of app store previous downloads. It had been a while, so I tapped through it again. It is still so good! If you have never tried it—and if you have an iPhone, I think it may only work on iPhones—you should absolutely install it.
Or if you haven’t in a while, give it another read.
The Mac startup sound and Sosumi
A great interview with the former head sound guy at Apple. The intro is in Dutch but the interview itself continues in English.
A gentleman in the comments with a NSFW user icon offers this bit of HTML geekery:
If you look at the Apple’s website source code, the element containing their copyright notice it’s actually called “sosumi”
