Vent: My old website's dark blue on black looked cool to me, but my cousin with color blindness said it was just a gray blob.

I learned that what looks slick to me might be totally unreadable for someone else, so who else has had a design fail a basic check like that?

I used to think the whole 'lost city in the Amazon' thing was just a story

I saw a documentary a few months back that showed those new lidar scans from Bolivia... they found over 20 settlements hidden under the jungle canopy. The images showed clear pyramids and road networks. That hard data from the tech finally convinced me it wasn't just legend. Has anyone else been surprised by how much lidar is changing the field?

Tried the 'shortcut' over the ridge on the Timberline Loop last weekend and ended up bushwhacking for two hours in the rain.
