Not OP, but San Soo Gab San (Western & Foster) was always great when I lived in Chicago.

I didn't know Textpattern was still around, much less widely used. I'd used it in college to set up my first blog ages ago and it was a great introduction in the then-new notion of 'content management systems'. Is it still a thing? Wordpress seems to be the first, last, and everything in-between in this space now, it seems.

Seeing the rise of Noto as other executives and leaders fall away, are removed, or otherwise leave Twitter makes me wonder how much longer Dorsey can hold on to his job, especially after the embarrassment of the failed acquisition talks. It's like watching Game of Thrones, but in real life.

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

The giant gap between the beautiful photos of beautiful people doing enviable things in beautiful places used in demos such as these (and in Apple ones as well) and the mundane, poorly-focused, washed-out, ill-composed photos and meme reposts that are most likely to appear on your FB feed at any given moment always takes the shine off of products such as these for me, despite how much more useful or technologically advanced they may be from their predecessors. Being reminded my life is not going to be as exciting as the floor model is never a good user experience.
