Ich habe ja eine große Schwäche für alles, was mit Grafik zu tun hat. Stifte, Lineale, Schablonen, Messscheiben, Papier, Pinsel - in einem Schreibwaren- oder Künstlerbedarfsladen darf man mich nicht alleine lassen, sonst werden alle Taschen vollgestopft :-) Hier ist Zeichenbedarfporno aus dem Jahr 1914: Ein Katalog der damals schon ältesten Zeichenbedarf-Ladens der Welt (nach...
This morning, my timeline on Twitter was full of pictures and remarks about Tesla's new "Cybertruck" with the futuristic and plain look, brutal even. One of the first things that came to my under-coffeed mind then was "hm, this looks so angular, this was maybe designed with CSS?" As one does, a tweet followed: "css...
Bastian reflects on a topic that's very close to (my) home -- the supposedly unavoidable Tooliganismn that is involved with working on the "modern" web. [wbr-quote cite="https://bastianallgeier.com/notes/simplicity-part-2"]There are two eras of those projects: pre-built-process and and post-build-process.

[wbr-quote cite="https://every-layout.dev/blog/you-pay/"]Some people can afford to work for nothing: people who have already accumulated lots of capital, for example, or are subsidized by their families. For them, “exposure” alone may be enough motivation. But it’s important they do charge for their work anyway. Why? Because the more people work for free, the less perceived value...

The web has turned and left me here Just where I was before it appeared And in its place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face I just made love with its sweet memory One thousand times in my head it said it loved it more than ever it said it remains...
If there’s one thing that now-me would urgently tell past-me, when starting this whole self-employed business, it is this: Beware of „cost“ focussed clients, seek the „investment“ minded ones. Adapt your communication accordingly. If your services are seen only as „cost“, no fruitful and growing relation will come out of it - and with those...
Imagine you'd like to build a database with not only every data you usually can get through user interaction with your service and the device where your app has been installed on, but with pictures of your user's faces, too. What a treasure trove in times of face recognition software. But surely after all those...
