A very neat collection of (web) design principles , such as "Jacob's Law":
"Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know."
Laws of UX is a collection of the key maxims that designers must consider when building user interfaces.lawsofux.com
Oh, Matthias did it again: Publishing one of his thorough articles on the challenges of designing/working with "the web".
It is again one of those articles that I'd wished to have written myself, because it echoes my thoughts (and my frustration) about the unfitting ways I am forced to work in when I'm doing client or agency-work. This feeling of not using the medium to its full potential, because the people involved in "the job" are focussing on the superficial and visual aspects only. The frustration about always having to fight for lean and performant solutions, and the nagging feeling ...
Die Buletten haben ein albernes Video zu meinem Lieblingssong auf der letzten Platte gemacht. Juhu. :)
We’re going to cover what H, S, and B are, and then I’m going to tell you about why this is the single-best color system in wide usage, plus some intricacies of using it in day-to-day digital design.

Facebook tells users that giving the company their mobile phone number will help keep their account secure. Until a few weeks ago, however, the social network’s self-service ad-targeting tools could be massaged into revealing a Facebook user’s cellphone number from their email address. The same flaw made it possible to collect phone numbers for Facebook users who had visited a particular webpage.wired.com
Oh wow. This is why I was very reluctant to give platforms access to my phone number, and still have a bad feeling for the few where I enabled 2fa with a phone ...

Das ist der Vorteil, wenn man mit Leuten, die leicht einen an der Waffel haben, zusammen Musik macht: Die schicken einem dann nachts um eins solche Links. Großartig, im ersten Moment dachte ich an Postproduction. Und ein wenig später im Video wurde mir klar, dass 'abrocken' und Frisur/Klamotten *doch* nicht von einander losgelöst funktionieren. Bundfaltenhose, Pullunder, Seitenscheitel und Oliba + abrocken = sieht trotzdem scheisse aus. :)))
Ach, wenn es doch endlich Weihnachten wär!
Im Haus ist alles so heimlich und still. Ob es bald Weihnachten werden will?
Ich freu mich ja auf das Christkind so sehr!
Ach - wenn es doch endlich Weihnachten wär.
