I Have Now Just Found The Answer To My Burning Question Regarding Mac’s Subpixel Rendering Chunky Display Of Light-On-Dark Texts

The solution is to insert an invisible drop shadow behind the actual text.

This is probably why I’m going to start using Gran Paradiso once it is finalized.

I wonder if Safari 3 had this issue fixed. Can someone answer? Thank you. Good night.

Apparently, The Pirahã Language Had Challenged The Notion That ‘Recursion’ Is Absolutely Necessary For Every Decent Human Grammar

That is because “…the tribe embodies a living-in-the-present ethos so powerful that it has affected every aspect of the people’s lives. Committed to an existence in which only observable experience is real, the Pirahã do not think, or speak, in abstractions—and thus do not use color terms, quantifiers, numbers, or myths…“When someone walks around a bend in the river, the Pirahã say that the person has not simply gone away but xibipío—‘gone out of experience,’ ” Everett said. “They use the same phrase when a candle flame flickers. The light ‘goes in and out of experience.’ ”

And thus we are free one more time from the tyranny of “one ring to rule them all”, that is, Noam Chomsky’s largely modernistic (if we speak it in design term) theory of universal grammar.

But here’s the most elegant thing that I humbly think modern society have miss greatly:
“[The Pirahã language] is not the kind of thing that you can write, and capture, and go back to; you have to watch, and you have to feel it. It’s like someone singing a song. You want to watch and listen and try to sing along with them. So I started doing that, and I began noticing things that I never transcribed, and things I never picked up when I listened to a tape of them, and part of it was the performance. So at that point I said, ‘Put the tape recorders and notebooks away, focus on the person, watch them.’ They give a lot of things using prosody that you never would have found otherwise. This has never been documented in any language I know.”

So profound.

Just So You Know, The Very Idea That We Are All Living In A Ten-Dimension Universe

As demonstrated by these two excellent video, will cause you to seriously doubt whether you really really wanted to be God and have the world your way—at the consequence of knowing absolutely everything about the universe and then going fruitcake.

The Reason Why I Have Not Posted For Almost A Week

Is because I practised Coudal’s keywashing technique, and thereafter, tried to dry my subject under Portland’s famous cloudy summer sky.

I shall return to regular postings in the next few days. Good night.
