Made an overview of mobile phones I own(ed), then spent way too much time building a way to visually represent their change in size. Had to brush up on my geometry. licit.li/_static/p...

Ah, very cool, I'd say it's worth the effort!

Does anyone else remember Pownce?
Brendan Murty
I thought it had a unique style, but if I remember rightly, it ultimately died due to lack of users. Let's not let that happen to Sublevel.

Testing this, maybe Ello and Twitter aren't the way to go.

I knew some fish had advanced eyes, and always thought cephalopods had some of the best, but this is great! For more eye-fun, check the Mantis Shrimp (theoatmeal.com/com...)

Can't WP pin websites to their home screen otherwise? That sounds like an incredibly stupid thing!
Brendan Murty
They can, but the process creates an awkward thumbnail of the whole page by default. This way the tile will have the correct Sublevel icon (sublevel.net/stati...) as the tile. However, there are other methods, like I've setup for UpcomingTasks: upcomingtasks.com/...

This resonated with me. I've dabbled in game design, gamification, (technical) writing, graphic design and marketing. There's a lot I can do, but there's little I can say about it upfront. Usually I find a spot within a new organisation and simply grow into one or more directions. The downside is that organisations often don't realise this and I find myself being put aside as a cost cutting measure. It's hard to make apparent what role you are fulfilling if people can't place you into a box. Then again, I'd wouldn't want to be able to fit in such a box to start with.
Brendan Murty
It certainly is the nature of jobs these days, if you can assist in a way that is outside of your role why not do that? A good leader should notice these kind of actions by employees and encourage those "mortar" roles.
