This is that. Canva acquired Affinity a while back.

Those are pretty much what I wear (except straight leg instead of boot cut), and the best I've found so far are at Buckle. All the Levi's I tried seemed weirdly high-waisted, and stuff at other stores didn't fit so well either.

This is surprising to me. Most contemporary Levi's I've tried seem quite low-waisted, so I'm forced to buy vintage for a more traditional high-waisted fit.

Here's a longer version of his talk that answers your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI9esN3BqbI

didn't know there was a longer version, thanks for this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't fractal image compression a real technique?

However, I did read about a hoax in the 90's where there was a claim of a fractal compression technique that could reduce a file down to 1% of its original size, which turned out to just be a program that stored a reference to the file's location instead of an actual compressed file.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_compression http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=885055

yes it's real but it's useless and unused. mentioning it without disclaimers is confusing.

that wikipedia page was mostly written by one of the people behind the hoax.

Do you have references? I'm curious; I've tried Googling but don't get a lot about the hoax part of it. Would be really interested in that story - the last I ever heard fractal compression being mentioned was to do with jpeg2000.

"The will to act."

Probably my favorite line in the movie. I wrote an article about habits and willpower a while back based around that line, actually: http://collegeinfogeek.com/hack-your-willpower-by-building-u...

I think the traditional funnel concept work just fine - as long as you do step three right.

Do many blogs and services spam their subscribers? Yes indeed - and I have an itchy unsubscribe button-clicking finger for those services.

If you change Step 3 to "Provide even more value", though, then you do indeed get customers that love you. And some of them refer their friends, who come in at the top of the funnel like everyone else - but with some preconceived good feelings towards you because of the recommendation they got from a friend.

Pat Flynn's newsletter is a wonderful example of how to do it right. Almost all of the emails I get from him simply give me more useful information - maybe 10% have ever been strictly promotional.

All I'd like to say is congratulations. 35lbs is a great achievement - keep it up!

Alright, off to the gym.

I've been getting into reading about science lately, and I also wanted to learn responsive design.

This isn't much, but I thought it looked nice, and now I know media queries!

Is it bad if I thought this article was going to be about Froggy Fresh?

Nice first project Joel!

Evernote is one of the rare programs that's very much inferior on the Mac, as the Windows version DOES have a word count feature. I'm really not sure why the team can't include it on the Mac version.

Thanks Thomas.

I love Evernote, but this is one of the minor details that could be improved.

Evernote for Mac has had word count for several months now. Click the "i" button, the popover shows the size of a note, and its word and character counts.
