This is a long shot but is there any chance that anyone downloaded (and still has) these “Nintendo Revolution” / Wii icons of mine from around April 2007? It’s one of the only downloads I can’t seem to find anymore.
I reject the seriousification of companies and their products. I don’t want fast food joints to look upscale. I’m not saying they have to look trashy, but they should look fun and silly.
I don’t want things to be devoid of fun and whimsy, I want them to exhibit that. It has appeal! When everything is presented so seriously, it makes everything seem quite bland. How about some flavor! Some enthusiasm! Some style!
I made a Finder icon in the style of a Blueberry iMac G3, because... why wouldn’t I?
(Yes, I did make the other flavors. Yes, there’ll be a new download for them soon.)

Yesterday I was thinking: what’s the most well-known music composition from Japan of all time?
It has to be the Super Mario Bros. overworld theme?? What else could it be?? And isn’t it crazy if it’s that?

No, I don’t think putting the URL field at the bottom of Safari years ago was “smart,” it’s just a reality of the situation we’re in now (jumbo phone hell).

Is anyone else having a rough time on the betas getting the Apple Intelligence Siri to do *anything* you want it to that old Siri could?
Like, It can’t understand me when I’m asking for directions, it says it “doesn’t know where” I am, despite having location services turned on for it. It can’t show me pictures of me, let alone pictures of anyone else, it just searches Bing for images instead. I can’t get it to do... anything.
Basically all artists I know of—myself included—neglect so many other important things in their lives so they can make time for making art instead. Artists usually give up quite a lot to be artists. Making art is often not the most lucrative profession, so people who choose that path are doing so almost purely because they love it. They feel—deep down—that they need to do it.
After all that dedication, having your work stolen, used by companies and individuals... it its gut-wrenching.
