    Tossing about whatever sticks. Or, are we making trails inside and beyond the streams other conversations and concepts have chosen for themselves. Sounds a bit etherial to ignite this week’s links with such a statement. But, there’s something to be said for pushing forward until clarity makes itself known. Some people and movements know this well before others. Some just stumble around until a shoreline is found. Here are this week’s links: Continue reading →

    The middle of the year has passed and there’s some sense of “if you haven’t made that 2018 change now, then you better get on it” with some of the reads from this week. At the same time, its refreshing to continue to be revealed aspects of life that weren’t as easy to see earlier in the year. Perhaps, links are just as much about what we catch now, as it is what we might have missed later which has come into a clearer view: Continue reading →

    There’s sometimes no getting around this point — there’s just a whole lot out there to sift through, and even more right behind it. Does it matter to highlight so little in a sea of so much? Perhaps. But, what about when we highlight the sea, its waves, and the lands it brushes up against? There’s a lot more than sediment being pushed around. There’s a lot more happening than just the links as shared: Continue reading →

  • Links for 27 July

    Lots of flooding — both in rainfall and information — across various timelines this week. It’s almost as if the summer has found something of its own pace, and we aren’t used to it heating up to something a bit different. Perspective, or what we notice or don’t notice about the nuance of contexts, frames this week’s link share: Don’t Ban Scooters, Redesign Streets via Curbed The Etymology of Parking via Michele Richmond Color Me A Dinosaur: This History of Crayola Crayons, Charted via Data Pointed Chart Party: Using Automation to Eliminate Image Drudgery via Six Colors The iPad vs. Continue reading →

    Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what exactly you might be trying to avert your attention from, there are some news and notes which just make their way into your viewing lanes. You can decide what to look at, what to hold onto, and what to discard. You can’t always decide the immediate value of what just took hold of your attention. This is the harder lesson of filters/boundaries. One in which this week’s set of links seems to shine the appropriate light towards: Continue reading →

    Travel and sickness often makes for unusual insights. Then again, there are some questions we don’t ask when we are well because we are strong enough to be stubborn to ignore them. At least, this seems to be parts within the theme of this week’s links: Can Meditation Really Make the World A Better Place via Aeon Intel’s Toxic Culture via Monday Note Did Blogs Ruin the Web; or Did the Web Ruin Blogs via Kottke -Why Hasn’t Graphene Taken Over the World via The Verge - Video And one from us: Continue reading →

  • Links for 29 June

    The future should be described in more optimistic terms than perhaps scholars or the entertainment industry has put forth. Looking for those different tropes is a bit easier said than done. The way this week’s links are put forth, it will be more up to the reader to put together their ideal future, rather than live with the results of other’s methods of dictation. On to the links: A Peek Inside the Niantic Real World Vector Podcast No. Continue reading →

  • Links for 22 June

    Finding this week’s links light in terms of quantity, but heavier in terms of context and implications. In some measure, the gaps exposed by not completely understanding tools, processes, and their knitting theories presents an opportunity. Some things are easier to figure out after the fact. Apple Is Figuring Out What’s Next via Above Avalon UX Upgrades for the Airline Industry via Dean Gonsalves Moving Design Beyond Pictures via Angular Blog And a few from us: Continue reading →

    A week away from things, slightly unintentionally. Having been given a closer-than-usual seat at the start of a life, one can see these pauses as an interruption or a challenge, but there’s also some strengthening in the model which comes.
