   The Apple Design Awards is the greatest casualty of the new WWDC format.

   It was the most exciting evening of the week. A room packed with developers, each of which thought their app had a chance to win, and equally excited to see which of their peers would win.

   And when John Geleynse & Shaan Pruden called you up, it was magic. You felt the love in the room, held a cube, and saw your hard work on screen.

   Now it's basically a press release. The work is still awesome, the recognition is not.

   You know what's hilarious? I boosted this article, which I enjoyed very much, earlier today. However, I have not yet found a clean way to save it in an offline format.

   It has dynamic illustrations as you scroll, and citations that only appear when you hover over their associated links, and none of my usual tricks get me the whole thing in a format I can either save (yes, yes, I know, PDF) or save to print. Certainly managed to demonstrate irony, at least.

   Another example: my wayland compositor goes through all the effort to listen to and structure linux event codes, listing out active modifier keys and fine grained pointer precision and packages them up and sends them to my terminal emulator who then must promptly hack them down so they fit within the fragile and lossy in-band format.

   It pains me.
