My buddy @jeffreyworthen wants to get all the Jeffs of the world to band together to buy Jeff.com. Do I know anyone who can help him make this happen? //cc @jescalan @JeffBezos @realJGoldblum

Main thing I need in @figma now is the equivalent of "text-wrap: pretty" and "text-wrap: balance".

Most designers know the "quick brown fox" text for testing fonts. I needed something that would allow me to see all lowercase and uppercase letters, as well as numbers, symbols, punctuation, common ligatures and tricky kerning pairs. This is the sample text I use:

The efficient officer shuffled swiftly through the artificial lights, affixing a final note to the affable florist’s door. He studied an old encyclopædia and an œuvre on mediæval craftsmanship while enjoying a hors d’œuvre on the café’s terrace in the straße.

Anyone have a contact on the @googlesheets ux team? Adding a quick search to the tabs menu would be so useful / timesaving //cc @juananorga

Would love to know if the art director of this @PolestarCars commercial was around for / inspired by the early web design days "pixel-stretching" phase. Needless to say, I loved it.

Whoah, thanks for listening @SlackHQ!

MOUSEPAD UPDATE: Thought I was going to have to rid of it because mouse was acting funny but there was just a hair in the optical eye. Mousepad heading into year 23 like a champ.

I am sad to announce that I've retired my faithful mousepad after 24 years of tireless service. We spent thousands of hours creating wonderful things together. I would ask that you please respect my family's privacy during this difficult transition.
