    Borrowing from @weepingfoxfury, the shiny metropolis beckons me. I have been away from home for something around 11 weeks now, and I have just come back to a place I have built, but I am a changed man, so here are my thoughts: public transportation in my region (Stuttgart) is loud. The doors, the train…

    This is not a signpost. This is where we stopped to look, not back, not forward—out. No lesson here. Just release, and the outline of something that wanted to be seen but not captured. If you arrived, it’s because your weather matched ours at the time of ascent. You are not being invited. You are…

    Two cairns buried at the edge of speech. A meditation on silence, communication, and refusing the trap of absolutes. Ongoing terrain. I will set up the other cairn later this week. Source: My after‑hours blog on Tumblr Code & Canvas

    “This book is not a recipe book. Nor is it a travel guide. Recipes diminish personal initiative; travel guides make things too comfortable. Few will choose the arduous path through unexplored terrain when an easier one lies conveniently nearby. But creative design is undoubtedly a tightrope walk. Missteps and even complete failures are always possible,…

    Today I hit the limit for applets run in my IFTTT account, so I upgraded it to the next tier, and this is basically how I’ve spent the late afternoon and the evening so far. Managed to make Threads work again, and now it can be securely and persistently archived on my social wall (again). I…

    What I use linkwarden for and a chat with Grok about Graphic Designer Combat Linkwarden is my private Pocket, my Raindrop I run myself. In it, I recently started storing web pages I want to read over the weekend. And since my interests are seemingly singular (because graphic design is vast), I look forward to seeing it grow into…

    It bears repeating: according to the handbook for designers Iʼm currently reading, the two main reasons for designers becoming incapable of doing their work, are mental health back problems. If you ask me, your dear proprietor of Code and Canvas, the after-hours tumblog about this and that, these issues are caused by self-neglect. Maybe collecting…

    The staying power of services like Goodreads has impressed me. It is 2025 and despite certain other projects, it is still around. I decided to use it, signed up, got my own vanity url, added the next 9 books I want to read after finishing Bernays’ Propaganda (which is a very good book for graphic designers and communication designers, I…

    Spent a few free minutes here and there to slowly work through my Instagram bookmarks. My goal is to save each one locally, tag each in Adobe Bridge for ease of use, and to add these to my visual library I’ve been building since, let me see–June 2024. Eventually, I will work through all of my social media bookmarks…
