We're nearly two months out from the
public release of Windows 11, and Microsoft is still slowly updating bits and pieces of the operating
system that weren't quite ready in early October. Microsoft announced redesigned
emoji
back in July, and the next Windows update (version 22000.348, if you're tracking this sort
of thing)
adds those emoji to Windows 11.
The new emoji remove the bold, black outlines from the Windows
10-era designs and change the colors and shapes of a few to make them match up
better with Apple's, Google's, and Samsung's glyphs—compare the new design for
Spiral Shell to the old one,
for an example. There are also a few cute Microsoft-specific touches, like a
Clippy design for the paperclip emoji, though
Ninja Cat
appears to have been removed entirely.
This blog is a place to put my stream of consciousness thoughts about life, politics, technology, and cats.
It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)
I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.
40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.
I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy.
A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.
You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).
If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.
I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,
