Another Survey
4:30 PM - December 4th, 2005
Help sate my curiosity while possibly guiding the future of Duality by answering the following questions. Again, no iPod drawing.
Questions
- Does your computer have the font Gill Sans?
- Have you changed browsers since May 31st? If so, what browser and version do you use? (ignore if you use Firefox)
- Is the gamma setting on your monitor closer to the Mac default or Windows default?
- Do you like blue?
- Am I the last DS owner that doesn’t have Mario Kart DS?
- Is the DS Nintendo’s first dual-screen device?
Remember, feedback makes everything better… except noise factor.

Whoa. I did that as an ordered list, Quad, with tags. Guess that’s not allowed. ;p Fix, please? (I can’t re-edit it.)

2. *ignore*
3. Windows
4. Blue is OK, but another color wouldn’t be bad either.
5. I don’t own Mario Kart DS, but then again, I don’t own a DS. Want to get them for me? I would be forever grateful. ;D
6. Since you asked the question, isn’t the answer ‘no’?
December 5th, 2005 at 12:57 am

2. Moo.
3. Windows. I’d assume.

This was the first Nintendo system with two screens!

It’s also a really crappy Paint job.

And it’s playing two DIFFERENT games at the same time. >_>

I can’t believe you didn’t use a Spelunker screenshot. And you know—going to confirm it—the Game & Watch game that I know is dual-screen (DK 1982) also came out before the NES (1983).
And hey, no one mentioned the Virtual Boy =)

I’ll definitely be looking into the input funkiness of the comment box after the design gets close to completion.
Gill Sans is very nice font. I won’t be using it as the body font, but for embellishments. I’m trying to decide whether to go with text or images. Btw, have you noticed that Tiger chunk-ifies all text? I’m not sure if Panther does too, but text in Tiger looks noticeably thicker than in Jaguar. Kinda annoying when I want the slimmer look.

> And it’s playing two DIFFERENT games at the same time.
Why do you think two controllers are plugged in at the same time? :D
December 7th, 2005 at 6:05 pm
1. I believe so.
2. (Ignores)
3. Windows.
4. I like it enough, but it’s boring.
5. Duh, Quad, jeez, what a loser. I mean, how could you?
6. The answer is B) 452 kJ/mol o.o Somehow.

Whoa. Or, as people here are wont to exclaim… “ZOMG!” ;p
What’s to zomg about? Well, one of my all-time favorite, classic sources on typography has migrated to the web. That is, been applied to the web.
It’s Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web … must-reading for any of y’all web-designer types out there. Or for anyone, really, who cares about typography and web-readability.
