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

Excellent, excellent intelligent rant.

Oef, wat zijn digitale directeuren toch belachelijk voorzichtig.

A critique on the National Design Studio. Easy, of course, but interesting.

Interesting “brutalist” typefaces

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.

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 The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn.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?

Kritiek op westerse oorlogstaal wordt gezien als naïef, maar er is een blind vertrouwen op een industrie die geld verdient met het uiteenrijten van lichamen.

Laten we weigeren onze kinderen op te offeren in naam van een natiestaat

Another super relevant set of guidelines to work with

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

But readable type, intuitive navigation, and smart color choices start in design, not in code. Developers build the product, but we set the foundation. It’s time to own that responsibility.

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.

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.

Brilliant, clever recursive animations

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

Erg goed verhaal over het weigeren van LLMs en het opzetten van een LLM-loze schrijversclub

Zeer uitgebreid artikel over Malcolm X

Not sure what the real source is, but work less.

Interesting tool to see how music is linked. Works the same with all kinds of creativity and art of course, we could use more of these visualising tools

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

Erg mooi artikel over hangjongeren.

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

AI is an everything machine, which fits perfectly in a frictionless dystopia. A plea for more friction. I agree fully.

Very interesting research into the effect of the common tools used in type design. Pretty much focused on type design, but should be translatable to web design as well.

Tegen zomertijd.

So there is no scientific proof that hsl is easier to use. But it does resemble the way human describe colours, much more than rgb.
