Jakob Nielsen remembers the early days, in this image. How great was the Apple III! Fun to see Woz in the picture, too!

@alliharvard Thanks for this picture of Susan...a heroine of the graphic user interface.

Susan Kare was an early Apple artist who designed many of the fonts, icons and images for Apple, Microsoft, NeXT and IBM (1980s). Check out her work below 🔻

@MrPrudence Yes, the screen acts as the loom.

Writing code is the act of weaving a series CPU instructions. Every row of pixels is a weft of a byte groups retrieved from computer memory. ISO/IEC 10646

@NNgroup Beautiful ambiguity- I see two layers devastated By the slash. Are they broken Into pieces, Deleted, Or just wiped clean? Uncertain, I hesitate to tap.

@rmfrt Very interesting demonstration.

I explore how typography influences text structure. Different sizes and layouts change the reader’s experience and writing flow.

@MrPrudence What a wonderful discovery!

@MrPrudence Thanks so much for passing along the word about this. I love the scientific study of the shapes. My own take on Hokusai's views: tinyurl.com/5ybnk338

@MrPrudence @cooperhewitt Great to see this!

@dgrigar It's wonderful that there still is a conference devoted to hypertext. Back when Bill Atkinson was developing HyperCard, we had trouble defining this weird new approach to content, structure, movement through the imagined architecture, in the earliest online help systems.

Such a joy to see these three literary hypertext pioneers together today at the ACM Hypertext 2024 Conference: Cathy Marshall, Rob Swigart, and Richard Smyth.

@NNgroup Looking forward to the NNG analysis. My own take, in my book Icons:Poems, was aesthetic and historical, recalling the way we created the icons for the Mac, back when Bruce Tognazzini declared himself "the user interface czar."

@DavidRumseyMaps Very cool...amazing to see, and realize the sheer speed at which we spin.
