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