WeWork: Plasma Design System

posted January 26, 2017 #

The WeWork rundown on designing their Plasma Design System may not have too many surprises if you've read other summaries of design systems but it's impressive none-the-less. It's always inspiring to see so much thought put into making a system that works to cover its bases before code is put down; as the luxury of such thought is not always possible.

Brinkley, Man Of The People

posted January 26, 2017 #

I realize I posted about them recently but ReplyAll has really been killing it lately for me. This episode, Man of the People, is not to be missed. PJ Voght explores the insane scams of John R. Brinkley and, more importantly, his use of new media to spread his falsehoods far and wide.
As you listen, I think you'll quickly make some comparisons to another high profile mouthpiece that manages to have people believe in him despite his clear falsehoods but that's not the part to focus on. The key takeaway is the lesson discussed near the end - "How do we keep falling for this?"

Melissa Keightley / friendswithpools

posted January 25, 2017 #

Lately I've really been enjoying the photography of Melissa Keightley, aka Friends with Pools. A large majority of it is quiet scenery and vacant spaces but not without some presence of humans. In fact, you could almost browse it as a post-apocalyptic photostream - a collection of images documenting a somewhat unsophisticated species. Or you could just enjoy the great color palette, typography and weird world we've created. Either way.

Mouth Moods

posted January 25, 2017 #

If you haven't inundated your ears with Neil Cicierega's epic mashup Mouth Moods yet, prepare yourself for a real aural onslaught. It definitely ebbs and flows between aggravating and unbelievable but the experience on the whole is what makes it so damn worthwhile.
Furthermore, if you haven't watched his XOXO Talk on being an "Internet Person", you should carve out some time for that as well.

Marilyn Mugot

posted January 24, 2017 #

The long exposure, neon light fueled photography of Marilyn Mugot was recently featured in WIRED but they only scratched the surface of her body of work. I highly recommend taking a nice chunk out of your day to fully explore everything she's posted - there's an eerie, beautiful, calm to it. It's like Bladerunner after everyone's gone home.

North of Neon

posted January 24, 2017 #

Filmmaker Matt Stawski has taken on a rather ambitious project with North of Neon - a fantasy kids show drawing deep inspiration from the likes of Terry Gilliam and practical effects fueled films like Labyrinth or Dark Crystal. There are loads of puppets, over the top characters and cleverly repurposed props that feel nostalgic and familiar.

Welsh printmaker Gods Teeth has a strange mix of the macabre and a sweet longing. It's a grim reaper longing for connection! Maybe that's oversimplifying but I love the style. Be sure to peruse the Big Cartel store along with the Instagram for the full impact.

Doing my best to continue making improvements around here. After the last round I decided to revisit some previous decisions (i.e. no sidebar) and add a few more features. Here's the changelog of what to find new around here:
  • Search - no more leveraging Google to find things in the archives. Just hit the Search option in the menu.
  • Filtered RSS - Don't want to see my Twitter posts or Twitter Favorites in the RSS feed? Just use this link to filter them out.
  • Comment Count - some bad SQL led to comment counts not appearing on the main feed. That's fixed.
  • Comment Notification - this doesn't affect you at all but I was never being notified when new comments were coming in. Now I'll know.
  • Promo Carousel - I assume most readers are banner blind to my self-promotion graphics but they're there and they're nicer now.
All of these are works in progress so if you happen upon a bug - please let me know.
