For students who think they need react. Maybe a bit complex.

Excellent, excellent intelligent rant.

When people say it’s hard to leave insta or whatever, this is a good link

The idea that product (design) teams need a vision to work towards. The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn. And something we, as a school, should do as well?

A tool to create bright CSS gradients.

Mooie kritische benadering van een krankzinnige status quo. Wegen moeten weg!

Excellent lecture about resisting AI.

I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.

A beautifully illustrated visual essay about AI and art.

Very interesting article about the work that went into creating Words of Type.

Interessant, over een uitgestorven vorm van het Nederlands.

Fantastic collection of different times. Very inspiring

The brilliant project by Jaap Meijers. An ereader that shows the time by showing quotes from books that show the time.

A furious, very well written reply to an ableist and arrogant linux developer.

Nice and thorough. Footnotes are style and should be used, whenever you think you should use them. Design them, and do so with attention.

Mooi artikel over tijd, over The Clock, over de expo in Breda, over verschillende soorten tijd.

Absolutely fantastic article that calculates the amount of photons that reach the eye from a single, printed letter.

Some excellent nerdy and niche HTML knowledge about the href attribute value.

Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany:

very common in Germany, that to be law-abiding means not merely to obey the laws but to act as though one were the legislator of the laws that one obeys.

The author writes about junktime, which I think is an even higher step from kairos -> chronos -> junktime. Who was it again who said that Kairos is village life, Chronos is city life, controlled by the clock, and then Junktime might be online life, controlled by ever presence.

Interesting observation that the idea and the form of a quick sketch changes.

Turn a so called passport file into a png, as it should be.

Very interesting article about the idea that designer should make (hone) their own tools. Some quotes:

It is precisely the task of designers (graphic, industrial or whatever) to discover new possibilities.

Limitations and demands imposed by a client are easier to accept than the arbitrary limitations of your digital tools.

After all, programming graphic programs is much too important to leave to programmers.

Explorers, and that is what they are, do not want to do the same thing twice.

Brilliant and wonderfully written article which says that everybody who doesn’t use a microwave for all their cooking is missing out.

Very handy, and cleverly opinionated read-later tool.
