How to Make a Hit App
Be the first is not how you make a hit app:
Even the first iPhone was a piece of crap…
Beautiful Chemical Structures
Beautiful Chemistry is a project collaboration between the Institute of Advanced Technology at the University of Science and Technology of China and Tsinghua University Press. The goal of this project is to bring the beauty of chemistry to the general public through digital media and technology.
Wonderful project. Heading to their website to see more.
Harassment In The Games World
I can’t wait for the day that, I’m just a game designer, not a female game designer.
Let’s make it happen.
Vimeo’s Login Screen
Vimeo's login screen has this minimal design with a really warm message:
Nice to see you again.
I haven’t seen such a good login screen for a while, as now they are paying too much attention to the sign up screen.
Google Cardboard
Finally had a chance to use my Cardboard as my first VR headset experience, I’d say it’s matching my (years of) expectations and it definitely has huge potential.
For Cardboard itself, the freaking brilliant design of ring magnet seems not working well with my Moto X, otherwise it’s just awesome.
I Wish I Was Wearing Google Glass Today
I tried Google Glass before, but couldn’t think of a good use case for me to actually buy one.
I thought maybe I would wait until I have kids, since I have heard a lot of times that people enjoy having a Glass while spending time with their kids.
But today, for the first time ever, I wish I had a Google Glass, so badly.
I was cycling in the bay area, mostly along the Bay Trail today. It is an absolutely beautiful ride.
During the ride, I stopped several times, to take pictures, either with my phone or my SLR (for different kind of pictures). That is the great part.
The bad part is, there were many many more times that I wish I could also take pictures, especially take pictures of what I see. Or sometimes better, videos of what I see.
Then I said, “Wish I had a Google Glass.”
I admit I won’t buy it yet, because the value and price ratio is still too low for me. But, I’m looking forward to finding more ways to increase the former. Otherwise I will just get a GoPro.
Image Size in iOS Mail App
I email myself A LOT to quickly just share an image from my iPhone to my Mac. (Thank god that will be fixed in iOS 8 & Yosemite.)
One day after filling the receiver’s address and hit “Send”, I just lock my iPhone and waiting my email to arrive on my Mac.
Waiting and waiting…. it never come.
And later on I find this on my iPhone:
Screenshot of the iOS Mail app.
Come on Apple, it’s 2014 and I am on wifi…
Hilarious. A Must Watch.

Ira Glass on Creative Work
Ira Glass's great take on creative work, with his amazing voice.
Which Paper?
Update on November 14, 2015: Dropbox also launched Paper.
There’s a simple fix here. We think Facebook can apply the same degree of thought they put into the app into building a brand name of their own. An app about stories shouldn’t start with someone else’s story. Facebook should stop using our brand name.
This Paper of course.
