PolarClock circa 2008

Built in Flash as a screensaver, an OS X Widget and apparently adapted to the iPhone. It was a free screensaver that I loved for many years. It’s a great design.

Not that PolarClock owns this shape, but this Apple Fitness design feels like a ripoff. Even the colors are similar.

Not that Apple hasn’t made enough news this week, but this is far too disappointing to let go. Yesterday, along with the watch and the iPhone 6 announcment, Apple has made their website responsive (part of it anyway). What appears now is a totally broken design for many of their pages. Not small pages either. Clearly they thought about the product pages for the iPhone and the watch and just said “eh, that seems good”.

In the same vein as the toolbox post I put up in March, I wanted to post a list of my most-used Chrome extensions.

I don’t use many Chrome extensions, but there are a few that I completely rely on every day. I get asked occasionally what these are and if I could share the links to some of these things, so here’s a list of the best ones.

Very easy to get lost in this totally amazing compilation of type

Before computer animation and Pixar, there was this. Sheer creative genius.
