Another super relevant set of guidelines to work with
One of the sad stories where a lying bot affects a product.
Zeer uitgebreid artikel over Malcolm X
Interessant stuk over het werk van Katja Mater, nu te zien in FOMU, en over de sculpturen van Brancusi, binnenkort in H'Art. Over tijd dus.
Interesting observation that the idea and the form of a quick sketch changes.
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.
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 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.
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.
Depressing stats about using ridiculous amounts of energy
Observations about shrinking time, the idea that the computer didn’t give us more time, as promised, but instead filled our lives with micro tasks. We should leave the clock at the door in many situations, like the art/design classroom
A critique on the National Design Studio. Easy, of course, but interesting.
A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation. For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc
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.
Wow, an incredible "book" about how digital things work. Can’t wait to see more articles.
A nice introduction to testing with voice over on a Mac.
Interesting case where a new feature is added to software because chatgpt tells people it exists while it doesn’t
Very interesting article about the work that went into creating Words of Type.
Very detailed explanation about how to develop software using a screenreader.
For students who think they need react. Maybe a bit complex.
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.
