🔠 Choosing a Font
Hello Hello!
"When I wrote this code, only God & I understood what it did. Now... Only God knows." 🤣 - by Lokajit Tikayatray
No coding today again, but amongst other things I'm bringing a topic that usually doesn't get much attention: Choosing a Font Type for an application, site, app, system, etc.
This is a guest article posted on the Google Font Knowledge. You can use this post as a check list when it comes time to choose a font for your project.
It mentions many aspects to look for, including to check if the characters are legible, which seems obvious at first but can be easily missed.
After reading this, you will start to look at fonts in a different way.I'm a big proponent of Meetups. They are an easy way to build your professional network. This past week the organizer of this Toronto based JavaScript Meetup reached out to all its members to ask about going back to in-person meetings.
Why am I bringing this to you? Because it shows that this meetup is about to go active again and it is a good opportunity to join and get closer to the organization team. Go for it! Join!Context switching is when you keep changing your focus constantly. You think that you are "multitasking", but you are actually loosing your ability to go deeper on the task at hand.
Changing focus frequently while you are studying or working on a project has a cost.
This article sheds some light into why doing multiple things are the same time or changing focus too often is not a good practice.
By the way, I will always try to bring content like this as I think we can all benefit from productivity tips.
My personal update:
👩🏫 I'm half way through the teaching course I have enrolled. So many great ideas that I want to explore with my students.
⏲️ I'm going to talk to my students this coming week about Procrastination and strategies to avoid it. I'm hoping they will develop more productive studying habits. I will share links about this in the future.
👓 I've tried Golf in VR with Oculus for the first time. A friend told me it is very realistic, however I have no reference as I've never played gold before. The same friend was the one who gifted me an Oculus VR set a few months ago. I would have not bought it to myself.
Cheers, hasta la vista, and bye!
