It finally hits me, a mile’s drive
The sky is leaking, my windshield’s crying
I’m feeling sacred, my soul is stripped
Radio’s painful, the words are clipped
The National is always a win, and so is Bon Iver. The yesterday released song Weird Goodbyes is just as hauntingly beautiful of a collaboration as you’d expect from those two bands.

One for my growing antilibrary.
What is good design? Product design is the total configuration of a product: its form, colour, material and construction. The product must serve its intended purpose efficiently.
A designer who wants to achieve good design must not regard himself as an artist who, according to taste and aesthetics, is merely dressing up products with a last-minute garment.
The designer must be the gestaltingenieur or creative engineer. They synthesise the completed product from the various elements that make up its design. Their work is largely rational, meaning that aesthetic decisions are justified by an understanding of the product’s purpose.
In this article, I set to understand and explore fundamental thinking that examines a new design worldview. A proposal to change our ways of working as designers, first in voluntary communities (which we already have, but with different goals) and then to be better equipped to understand and explore as individuals and as a community. This is not a desperate article. Believe me when I say this is an article full of hope and wonder.
A great plea by fellow designer Angelos Arnis to transform design (and business) and get ready for the new realities and challenges of the future: Designing for the last earth.
It’s so easy to just let people live, all you need to do is love yourself enough to not be threatened by other people’s joy.
