Starting this month, Google will roll out a new system service that will be automatically installed on most Android devices and will also be used to ve... Read more ›

The biggest issue in font design seems to be kerning. I spend about eight times longer messing around with kerning than I do with actually making the design. Kerning is always the first thing that gets criticised; and the inevitability of 'missing one' is a huge frustration. What's the best way to ensure decent kerning? FontLab's automatic kerning of certain pairs (but not all pairs) is 'non-optimal' – but it strikes me that kerning is exactly the sort of thing that computers ought to be doin... Read more ›

I find the “rules are toys” framing of tabletop RPG design useful for several reasons:The idea that system matters is reducible to recognising that toys have affordances; while there is of course no “wrong” way to play with a toy, no amount of open-mindedness will readily fit a bicycle through a basketball hoop. It puts a line under one of the main objections to the “why not just freeform it?” thing; if folks are discussing how to make or modify a toy to achieve a particular set of affordance... Read more ›
