Brilliant video showing the three shapes of stories.
Very interesting article that points out that the EAA goes much further than the WCAG. We should focus on that 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.
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.
A well informed rant against rutger bregman and his school for moral ambition, a powerwashing school for the elite, for them to feel good, but not to solve the issues they cause irl.
Some excellent nerdy and niche HTML knowledge about the href attribute value.
One of the sad stories where a lying bot affects a product.
Another super relevant set of guidelines to work with
Some interesting ideas here, most notably that you should decide what the discussion is about. At the moment, silicon valley decides and that’s bad.
Mooie kritische benadering van een krankzinnige status quo. Wegen moeten weg!
The brilliant project by Jaap Meijers. An ereader that shows the time by showing quotes from books that show the time.
Wonderful, the old Japanese calendar was divided into 72 seasons, each of a few days. I wonder if something like this could be made for my backyard, for instance.
The other costs of LLMs. Or should we start calling them IPs? Internet Parasites?
Interesting way of teaching the complexity of typography. A similar approach could be used for other design topics as well.
Excellent explanation of why box-sizing: content-box can be useful.
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 The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn.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?
Sound effects of clocks, free to use
Numbers about the idea that people do not want AI.
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.
Depressing stats about using ridiculous amounts of energy
Very detailed explanation about how to develop software using a screenreader.
Nice and thorough. Footnotes are style and should be used, whenever you think you should use them. Design them, and do so with attention.
