Got JS Masonry to work with liquid (percentage-based width) items thanks to this link (it was failing to properly update width when resizing):
http://jsfiddle.net/6jyEW/5/ (via https://github.com/desandro/masonry/issues/55). Had to use the resize function, which thought was already being used…

Philly PyStar at The Hacktory with C.

Reminded me that I actually enjoy coding when it is problem solving, etc. (not hunting down browser-based BS, etc.).

I wonder how long the suggested solution would take for a trillion dollars in change. I guess my CS education wasn’t totally for naught…

Picked up an optical IBM mouse for C. at the Nonprofit Technology Resources store.

Easiest to clean mouse ever, along with not being ugly or non-functional.

Creative Mornings with Jamer Hunt, Galapagos Art Space, DUMBO, Brooklyn, NY.

Hunt talked about perspective of scale in design (scalar framing, phase shifts, intertwingling). Tried to show Powers of 10 (not sure why wasn’t working).
Examples of water at size of ant (can’t shower) and adjustments of fonts for tiny typesettings (due to bleed, etc.) were interesting. I wanted to ask about investigative techniques as Hunt’s background is in ethnography, which lends well to one-on-one contextual inquiry, but which I can’t see being applied to higher level perspectives talked about, but balcony was invisible (not just me). Thought would be able to ask later via Twitter, but found no account for Hunt.

“Gum is never black” – one Brooklyn elementary schooler to another, on the dark strata in the sidewalk.
