What it does

Noon Pacific is coming back.

Every Monday at noon, pacific time: one mixtape, ten songs. I spent my weekends digging so you didn't have to. Streaming was new then. Everything ever recorded was suddenly a click away, and most of it went unheard. The idea was simple. Pull ten of them out and hand them to people who trusted me. For some of those artists it was the first real audience they'd had. Then I stopped for a few years, started a family, and taught myself to build better software. The building turned out to be the easy part. I'd finish something I liked and then struggle to get anyone to look at it, buried the same way the artists had been. A lot of you know the feeling. What used to take a team of people months…from noonpacific.com

    http://instantclick.io/ It seems the internet architecture won't bring us instant websites anytime soon. So here is a hack. I released this JS library last month (today is version 2.0 release, fixing v1.0's rough edges), it makes use of HTML5's pushState and preloading to make a website instant. It works like this: before clicking on a link, you'll hover over it. And there's a delay of 200-300 ms between these two events. InstantClick uses this delay to preload a page, when you click on a link it will display instantly in most case. (You can test on the website.) That's…

    For a while, I had this idea of redesigning Microsoft employee badges for a modern and neat look. So I spared a few hours this weekend. It’s over a year Microsoft has started to rebrand itself, starting from its logo to a brand new looking OS, from campus shuttles to direction signs on the cam
