While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.

A talk I have about my clocks

Hilariously detailed article about hacking a vacuum cleaner.

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.

Excellent, excellent intelligent rant.

> The question is just as relevant and just as meaningful as the question whether submarines can swim. > In retrospect, this accident of history has been a disaster, since almost all the opinions pushed by the commercial propaganda were false, and, in addition, the propaganda has been so effective that for many those opinions have become dogmata that can no longer be challenged without committing heresy.

Tips for enterprise UX. If we do this at CMD, this could be interesting

The missing article on font size on websites, while also taking the user’s preference seriously.

Geweldig verhaal over een geweldige kerel. Onder andere over dat zaken doen niet per se alleen maar over zoveel mogelijk geld verdienen gaat. Wat een fantastische kerel, wauw.

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

I agree with the idea that businesses do not need to grow. Growth is the ideology of a tumor, of a parasite.

Bovendien is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe radicale gelijkwaardigheid eruitziet, het is onbekend terrein. Ik weet ook niet hoe een wereld zonder uitbuiting eruit zou zien, maar de huidige wereldorde leidt tot oorlog en geweld, dus het is het onderzoeken waard.

I want to start using the temporal API for my clocks.

Interesting “brutalist” typefaces

Vocabulary of any tech hype, really, not just AI.

Interesting way of teaching the complexity of typography. A similar approach could be used for other design topics as well.

Excellent article for discussions about privacy

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

A nice introduction to testing with voice over on a Mac.

Making a git repo, completely manually. A clever explanation about how git works, and what it does.

Brilliant research into making stepped gradients with CSS. Looking forward to an easier implementation, one day,

> [AI hype companies are] selling the idea that doing things is worthless. Long, but very good read about hype, that the author calls Whatever.

This is an incredible resource: many (really, many) words that letter-professionals use explained in quite a few languages. Wow!

Interessant, over een uitgestorven vorm van het Nederlands.
