Although we have the illusion of receiving high-resolution images from our eyes, what the optic nerve actually sends to the brain is just outlines and clues about points of interest in our visual field. We then essentially hallucinate the world from cortical memories that interpret a series of extremely low-resolution movies that arrive in parallel channels.

Introducing Making FiftyThree.
At FiftyThree, we build tools for makers. Our first product Paper is used and loved by makers worldwide.
We, too, are makers.
To that end, we created a new blog to share our side of the story. Making FiftyThree will provide a deeper look into our unique approach to engineering, design, and building a company.
We will continue to celebrate the work of our creators on Made With Paper, and you can remain up-to-date on major announcements here on FiftyThree News.
FiftyThree is the space to create. Come on in and read our first post, A Closer Look at Zoom.
Crucial addition. So much care and attention to detail goes into the product, and now it’s easier to share the process.
The Tumblr sale still feels so surreal. I know some of the OG crew look at this space from time to time, so I wanted to say congrats to y’all! I’m glad you got a nice little reward for your hard work, and that you get to continue working on your vision for this site in the way you think is best.
i went to go change my icon back, because yahoo changed it to their logo, but i can’t find the option????
I am praying to God I don’t see the notes tick up on this idiotic fuckery.
“tagged: what exactly do you have to gain from faking something like this - i do not understand -”
i am not faking. please. listen to me. yahoo has hijacked my acVISIT YAHOO!MAIL TODAYcount.
I actually sort of hate you personally for taking advantage of the horde of angry idiots on this site.
Listen up motherfuckers, if the new default icon was actually the yahoo logo then it would change site wide and for all anon logos as well.
50 notes already Jesus fucking Christ.
icant believe yahoo would do something like this
guys this isn’t fake. i know people inside the compnay and all your GPOY pics are automatically goign to flickr tomorrow
Why is Yahoo! paying “drones” to deny this totally real and accurate travesty? WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE?
Was telling someone the other day about how in middle school we played this weird, bootleg Bingo game called “Nasco” all the time in home economics class because the teacher was so lazy. The one shown here has weather info, but I’m pretty sure ours had home economics terms.
I got my BFA from the School of Film and Animation. Being experienced in film making and going to a school with a lot of engineers was a good background to have for working on Vimeo. Vimeo actually has quite a few RIT grads on its roster of past and present employees.
We are supposed to know everything that the government does. That is why they are called The Public Sector, and they are supposed to know almost nothing about us. That is why we are private individuals. This has been completely reversed so that we know almost nothing about what the government does, it operates behind this impenetrable bureaucracy, while they know everything about what it is we are doing, with whom we’re speaking and communicating, what we’re reading.

WHY DO WE NEVER TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS IN A SMALL TOWN IN ALASKA THE MAYOR HAS BEEN A CAT
mAYOR STUBBS
”He doesn’t raise our taxes - we have no sales tax. He doesn’t interfere with business,” said Lauri Stec “He’s honest.”
and he oNLY drinks water from a wine glass
A town decided that a cat would be a better mayor than people
“He’s good, probably the best we’ve had,”
So much Portland here.
You can also get your medical cannabis card here too, btw.
