Images for Retina Display

I can’t wait until the day when every device we have is using a retina display. Meanwhile, the transition between normal resolution display to retina display is a painful process. Images made for normal websites look horrible on retina display, because mobile Safari have to double the pixels and stretch the normal low resolution graphics to fit on the screen. The result on photographic images aren’t all that bad, but the less complex images, such as logos and icons are clearly grainy & pixelated on the edges.

When I last visited Boston, Cafe Japonaise only had one location in Brookline, now they’ve got three locations throughout the greater Boston area. This was one of the few bright spots on my visit to Boston this time around, good coffee and great pastry. Their various cream puff, specialty bread, and sliced loaves are to die for.

As much as I wish the above picture is a creation of yours truly, it’s actually one of the best dish from an all-time local favorite. Although I’ve always been aware of the discrepancy between vacationing versus living at a particular destination, the actual impact of that discrepancy has never been more clear to me than the last month and half. Years ago when I visited Boston, it was only for a week during the best time of the year, and we checked out some of the best restaurants in town for the entire week. Life is much different when you’re not spending $100 a day just on food.
