Planner Meetings and Beautifully Ugly Logos

In which I geek out about stationery and enjoy some ugly logo ideas.

Hey friends,

Sad day, the Olympics have concluded. I have another 2 years before another buffet of hyper-specific sports events!


Words I Wrote ✍️

I've recently been geeking out about stationery, and have performed my very first techo kaigi.

If you don't write anything down by hand, I encourage you to try it out. Find what makes it feel...

... luxurious.


Interesting Web Bits 🍜

Web Stuff

  • There was an unofficial logo proposal for HTML and it's majestic in both it's ugliness and accuracy.
  • The Ladybird browser abandons Swift.
  • If you didn't hear about curl closing it's bug bounty because of AI contributions it sounds pretty bad out there right now for open-source maintainers (given that it was already pretty bad BEFORE AI... 😬). Github is trying a few things to help out.
  • Richard Rutter gives us a comprehensive guide to styling lists.
  • An interesting challenge, how do you scroll a table with b-b-billions of rows?

Other Stuff

  • Johnny Birch thinks post-Figma design will be in code with Agents. This feels like a step towards a Great Design Bland-ening, much like every high-school essay ChatGPT spits out these days...
  • Remember Dark Sky? Well, the team is back together to build another weather app.

Weird, Watch, and Play

  • 📺 What happens when you throw boiled water outside in -41°C weather?
  • 📺 How do bugs really see? (Spoiler: it's not thousands of repeated images!)
