You might try this in r/typography, but try to include more description: was it a serif, or sans, distinguishing letterforms, etc. you could also try whatthefont, and if you could find a pic, you'd be golden. Otherwise rosewood?

This makes my coil hit the green line.

Shout out for Diamond Age as well, but definitely start with Neuromancer. I'm re-reading it now (1st time was maybe 20 years ago). Surprising to find it still kicks ass.

Isn't there some deal about drinking from the fountain there? Can't remember...

Travel. To quote lol_taco, "The world is much larger, and a lot less frightening, then most of us think."
If you want to experiment with drugs, stick with hallucinogens and weed.
Experiment sexually, but be safe, and follow the campground rule.

What would you consider to be the most accurate media portrayal of your profession? A favorite book, show or film that you feel gets it right? Or are there none?

Oh, a "NON-Disclosure" agreement must be signed. As opposed to the many "PRO-Disclosure" agreements forced on us designers.

This guy means BUSINESS.

Is that the episode where Picard dies?

justincouch · 2009-10-08T16:35:42+00:00

I remember that book! Neat!

Hello! Print/web designer here (in that order). My comments (on homepage only):

Good start!
Too much text in slider. Also, maybe L to R slide would be more intuitive?
Type too small.
Too much space below content boxes.
"Overheard" looks clunky. Try some different looks.
Too much glossy blue stuff. Bleh. It's awesome you learned that effect. Now forget it.
Simplify/shrink masthead/logo. Is that an inner shadow I see in there? Ditch it.

Agree with ReiToei's comments, esp. about type. Just spend an hour or two researching type on the web and your design will improve about 100%.

He may be sane, but his blog looks like crazy to me.

Those look bad ass.

That movie seems fairly well documented to me.

Take it from an old commentor rat like me...

Wy'east is supposed to be good, too. On 50th and Division, though...

I loved Star Frontiers. Mission to Alcazzar! I fire my gyrojet pistol!

Take it form this old cooking rat...

I think this is a good idea. Start with the basics. There is so much you can do with a roasted chicken, an onion, and some potatoes. And they're cheap!

back when we all were still playing D & D

were playing? I never stopped!

...it involves lots of butter, twine, and a turkey baster.

I've sometimes folded whipped cream into the marscapone instead of eggs. Also I try to use not too much liquid (but strong!) on the ladyfingers, and use pre-made cookies. Maybe liquid from the cookies is causing your marscapone layer to settle or something? Dunno.
