Frame of preference A story of early Mac settings told by 10 emulators.

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways?

The image shows the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on display on the National Mall in Washington D.C. in October 1996. This particular display, from October 11-13, 1996, was the last time the entire quilt was shown in its entirety, covering the vast expanse of the National Mall from the Washington Monument towards the U.S. Capitol. It featured over 40,000 panels and drew approximately 1.2 million visitors.

Very colorful murals with geometric / cosmological patterns — same for all four photos

Super-lovely new murals at the 42nd + 3rd entrance to the 7! Sharmistha Ray & Dannielle Tegeder’s Hilma’s Ghost (an homage to Hilma af Klint, apparently)

A screenshot of ObjC.h showing the definition of method prototypes and the historical progression of OBJC_BOOL_IS_BOOL and OBJC_BOOL_IS_CHAR
