Experimenting with some scattering or diffusion techniques, for today's #AmperSand efforts. Quite liked the little black one, actually.

@mikegalsworthy preference doesn't even begin to cover it. I simply won't have anything from a). It's foul.
A few weeks ago, I sent my 1985 Swiss Army Knife back to Victorinox for a broken blade replacement.
It came back today, fully repaired, cleaned, polished, lubricated and in a new box.
Total cost: £10 + return postage.
They sent the knife back with an invoice. I didn't have to pay a penny before the job was done.
A product that's been out of production for almost 40 years, repaired at very little cost by the original manufacturer.
I'm stunned. Happy, impressed, grateful and stunned.
just thinking of the tech etymology "thing that we do" plus the following rules depending when it was launched:
early 00s: prefix i- or e- (ebay, iphone)
late 00s: suffix -r (flickr, warblr)
10s: suffix -ly or -ify (bit.ly spotify)
20s web games: suffix -le (wordle, countle)
this gets fun, because you can take an existing tech product and move it to a different era by changing its name construction
Imagine there’s a button that when pressed would immediately change your body from what you have now, to that of a goose. You can only press the button once. When pressed everyone will have known you in this new form the whole time, so there’s no social impact at all.
Would you press that button?
If so you may be transgander 🪿
