AddA 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.
Being lazy is a good idea, and I need to look into view transitions.
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.
When people say it’s hard to leave insta or whatever, this is a good link
Erg goed verhaal over het weigeren van LLMs en het opzetten van een LLM-loze schrijversclub
An attempt to explain some programming paradigm visually.
A nice introduction to testing with voice over on a Mac.
I want to start using the temporal API for my clocks.
Excellent explanation of why box-sizing: content-box can be useful.
While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.
Tegen zomertijd.
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 The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn.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?
Another super relevant set of guidelines to work with
Brilliant and wonderfully written article which says that everybody who doesn’t use a microwave for all their cooking is missing out.
Vocabulary of any tech hype, really, not just AI.
Not sure what the real source is, but work less.
Natural colours, coloured landscape in Amsterdam
Fantastic article about NTP, the complex system that synchronises time on the internet.
Brilliant research into making stepped gradients with CSS. Looking forward to an easier implementation, one day,
Nice and thorough. Footnotes are style and should be used, whenever you think you should use them. Design them, and do so with attention.
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 critique on the National Design Studio. Easy, of course, but interesting.
Interesting observation that the idea and the form of a quick sketch changes.
