“Uniwidth typefaces are proportionally-spaced typefaces, but every character occupies the same space across different cuts or weights…no matter which weight you set your text in, it will never change its length or cause text to reflow.” uxdesign.cc

I’m a fan of the Hemispheric Views podcast and enjoy the episodes where they critique listener’s desk set-ups. So I shared a couple of photos on their Discord and they wrote up their thoughts on my set-up on their new blog.

What I Read in 2020 📚
After reading 37 books in 2019, I set myself what I thought was a comfortable goal of reading 24 books in 2020. Unfortunately, I didn’t reach my goal as I usually read during my commute, and I’ve been working from home since March. I ended up reading 13 books, which is not bad considering what a year it has been:
- And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie ★★★★☆
- Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? by Caitlin Doughty ★★★☆☆
- Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates ★★★★★
- Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang ★★★★☆
- The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler ★★★☆☆
- The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming by David Wallace-Wells ★★★☆☆
- The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton ★★★☆☆
- All Systems Red by Martha Wells ★★★★☆
- The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal by Clint McElroy ★★★★★
- Stuff Matters: Exploring the Marvelous Materials That Shape Our Man-Made World by Mark Miodownik ★★★★☆
- Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke ★★★★☆
- I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi ★★★☆☆
- What If? by Randall Munroe ★★★★☆
These were my highlights:
- Favorite fiction book: The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal by Clint McElroy
- Favorite non-fiction book: Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
- Most thought-provoking book: Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke
- Least favorite book: Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? by Caitlin Doughty
