I've always been partial to the Strat but the Tele definitely counts as a timeless design as well
Some refinements / variations but the basic design has been the same for more than 50 years. People still spend more for vintage reissues that are basically the same as in the 50s / 60s
I realized recently I dumped an old CD case full of CDs I'd bought over the years. Kind of want to buy some of them back but don't even have a CD player / boombox anymore. My computer has no CD drive.
Love the guitar and vocals in this:
Now once upon a time
An old man told me a fable
When the piper is gone
And the soup is cold on the table
And if the black crow flies
To find a new destination
That is the sign
Come tonight
Come to the ogre site
Come to the ogre battle fight
He gives a great big cry
And he can swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
And the palm of a hand, incredible size
One great big eye has to focus in your direction
Now the battle is on
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Come tonight
Come to the ogre site
Come to the ogre battle fight
Pa pa pa pa (cool)
The ogre men are still inside
The two way mirror mountain
You gotta keep down
Right out of sight
You can't see in but they can see out
Keep a look out
The ogre men are coming out
From the two way mirror mountain
They're running up behind
And they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cause you gotta go south
Ogre men are coming home
The great big fight is over
Bugle blow let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for ever more
Oh-oh, you can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle
I made this recipe twice. Once with panko breadcrumbs as in the recipe, a second time with plain Italian breadcrumbs. The latter turned out nicer as a coating, my panko crumbs were pretty big and they had trouble latching on and burned a bit. 10/10 recipe though.
I was surprised you can make onion rings this good without a deep fryer
Yesterday I was messing with Figma to practise design and test the capabilities of Figma Make (AI assistant). The design I churned out in Figma Make yesterday looked nice but had a bug where step logic in the multi-step sign up form was causing premature form submissions. I was able to tweak the logic to conditionally disable buttons, but a reminder that you need to check and test the output of AI code tools, even if it looks good on the surface
Update: Started off just moving around frames in Figma to see if I could understand its auto-layout system, intending only to play designer for a little. I made a very simple but janky sign up page.
I then fed that figma frame along with color variables to Figma Make (an AI assistant) and it churned out the second multi-step sign in. I was able to copy and paste its code into an existing Next.js project and the multi-step flow just works. Admittedly, I recently got used to Tailwind / Shadcn-ui
So I'm still a janky designer, but knowing how Next.js projects work I was able to copy and paste a couple files and got the latter images. Wild stuff. I still want to work on design principles, and wouldn't deploy as prod right away. But I am pretty impressed with what the AI shat out in a few minutes, using only one janky frame as an example.
