AddErg mooi artikel over hangjongeren.
A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.
Brilliant and wonderfully written article which says that everybody who doesn’t use a microwave for all their cooking is missing out.
Interesting way of teaching the complexity of typography. A similar approach could be used for other design topics as well.
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.
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.
Very useful, extensive guide. Many points apply to other fields of design as well.
Creating a tool to execute the idea means innovation. Compromising the idea to the tool leads to stagnation.
I should sit down one day with some colleagues and write a similar useful guide to bad web design.
Tips for enterprise UX. If we do this at CMD, this could be interesting
Brilliant, clever recursive animations
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.
Very, very long piece about stuff around the disability pride flag, some sort of weird conflict it seems to have with an earlier disability flag. Some interesting observations about what it really means to design with a community as well.
Depressing stats about using ridiculous amounts of energy
Liquid glass is bad.
Interesting: programming is not about finishing a product, it is about making, understanding and working with the thing. So programming is not about the end result, it is about the experience. Reminds me of chronos vs kairos.
When anyone can produce something that looks good, the question becomes not “Can you make this?” but “Can you tell if it’s any good?” Or: “Can you make it better?”
Numbers about the idea that people do not want AI.
Brilliant video showing the three shapes of stories.
Fun exercise that compares internet speeds to nerve-speeds in animals.
Excellent article for discussions about privacy
All the details about ‘Coding Independent Code Points (CICP) for color space identification’
Erg goed verhaal over het weigeren van LLMs en het opzetten van een LLM-loze schrijversclub
A critique on the National Design Studio. Easy, of course, but interesting.
Very handy, and cleverly opinionated read-later tool.
