@impactology Damn

@impactology Easiest would be a set of Notion pages that you can publish as a site.

If you want more data capturing and filters, a Notion database with keywords or tags, notes, dates, etc.

@impactology @cubanheat I'd also add that logo and interior stuff are more immediate problem solving rather than layouts, whether graphic or architectural, which are more of a nuanced, longer-term skill, so more demand and exposure on the former vs the latter.

[Jesal Mehta @arachnic]

@impactology @cubanheat Truth, from whatever I've seen.
Even in Photography, composition is second to other technicals or effects.
But there's more about composition in photography than GD. Similarly, there's a few good books on layouts and grids, but fewer.

Reposting this every year at this time, when I teach my Emergent Technology module.
This year I considered giving a computer literacy session to the 20 year olds. Next year I may well have to.

UX designers who eliminated the filesystem from user consciousness in name of simplicity ruined the world and are morally culpable for shriveling minds of children who are unable to tackle the challenges of today thanks to a choice rooted in misunderstood advocacy for the user.

@TheGuysexual Definitely checked out the bookshelf. They're irresistible.

@3DPrintBunny Yeah, a Blender for 3d printing course would be great, because otherwise Blender does so much that you tend to drown and give up.
Please point us to one !

@AbolTaabol I read this yesterday, so utterly cool !

[Jesal Mehta @arachnic]

@AbolTaabol Truth.

@Nsousanis @michael_nielsen Looking forward to it ! I've put Unflattening in every design library I've been in charge of (which is all of 2 🤷‍♂️) and follow your blog from time to time on the updates !

[Jesal Mehta @arachnic]

@AbolTaabol @impactology What kind of "Craft" ? Me and a couple of colleagues have been harping on Craft for a while now but we're just poor academics not leading anything 😭

[Jesal Mehta @arachnic]

@AbolTaabol Absolutely! 😭

[Jesal Mehta @arachnic]

@michael_nielsen Possibly @Nsousanis' Unflattening may count as well. https://t.co/USRgfhaJz2

[Jesal Mehta @arachnic]

@michael_nielsen The Sandman may count. Neil Gaiman's 75-issue graphic "comic book" series builds a deep universe, pulls in characters, plots and references from the world's mythology and literature, combining them into a wild ride that comments on human nature and other sundry bits.

English weather is wet
German weather is Wetter

English kids are kind
German kids are Kinder

English mothers mumble
German mothers Mutter

The English shout the word people
But Germans just quietly Menschen it

And English sausages can be bad
But a German sausage is the Wurst

@AbolTaabol The FabAcademy? Not open *Source* but open access (videos, exercises, files)

@praymurray Oh noooo..

[Jesal Mehta @arachnic]

@AbolTaabol @ekpraet Can't wait !

[Jesal Mehta @arachnic]

@peterrhague Asimov's Lucky Starr series? I've read only one, but it was a fun romp.

Perhaps we should think of "Learn to code" like we think of "Learn to cook".
