AddWow, an incredible "book" about how digital things work. Can’t wait to see more articles.
A tool to see if your HTML form is well formed.
Some excellent nerdy and niche HTML knowledge about the href attribute value.
Very interesting article that points out that the EAA goes much further than the WCAG. We should focus on that as well.
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.
Hilariously detailed article about hacking a vacuum cleaner.
Tegen zomertijd.
I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

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.
Excellent lecture about resisting AI.

Brilliant, clever recursive animations
