I recently updated my OS to Ventura and wanted to test out continuity camera. I didn’t want to invest in or wait for an attachment, so I whipped up a quick iPhone holder out of cardboard.
It’s pretty simple, just requires scissors, cardboard, and folding. It attaches securely enough to hold the phone in place, and is easy to adjust. This cardboard wasn’t even very good quality, and it still worked well—the best cardboard to use would probably be from an Apple box. They should die-cut perforations into the interior packing and let folks repurpose it. Feel free to steal this idea, all the Apple designers who frequent this blog.
I didn’t deviate at all from his prompt suggestions, just changing hamburgers to negronis, but it was immediately evident how useful this could be in developing all types of different prompts.
I tried out the prompts in DALL·E 2 and DreamStudio / Stable Diffusion, and generally preferred the outcome of DreamStudio.

So excited to see all the awards that Everything Everywhere All at Once won last night. It was a shame that Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu were up against each other—Stephanie was incredible. Her audition tape has been making the rounds, and it’s absolutely wild to see the character seemingly so fully formed at that early point.
