• So far, The Final Destination, also known as Final Destination 4 is the weakest in the series.
    But its dullness is useful in other ways, if you can appreciate this. #asca

  • Welcome back to my after‑hours. This means that I’ve been working on my work again. I needed to fix a few things which I thought I’d properly fixed before.

    And I needed to get back into keeping a diary, for my own sake.

    You know, I think that writing things down, in your own hand, is a sort of self‑programming or self‑designing.

    So far, I am really happy to have bought a notebook by Leuchtturm1917 a few months (or maybe years) ago, since it does a few neat things for me: it comes with stickers for the cover, and a table of content which you can fill out yourself.

    I am always on the lookout for better notebooks, of course, and I ended up using Leuchtturm1917 ones because I find Moleskine notebooks too expensive by far (but there are even more expensive ones out there).

    Speaking of taking notes in general, I’ve decided to clean out my iPad in a way which makes it useful for my work and studies, much less useful for everything else: I’ve deleted all messaging apps from my tablet (and my laptop as well) and decided that messaging belongs on my smartphone and my smartphone only.

    I used to think that having a sort of meta‑computer for which each of my devices is a representation of would make sense for me, but it turns out that this didn’t work out for me at all.

    Instead, I want each device to have its own function, and I want to be aware of said function.

    It’s not set in stone, but I am getting to something here.

    In general, the tablet is for sketches and notes, the laptop is for more serious work, the smartphone is just for fun.

    And I’ve lowered my computer table, too!

    How is your work setup in 2025?

  • Scanned my diary’s cover.

    I’ve always loved what scanning does to print objects.

    You can find the uncompressed version on my flickr here, for panning around and zooming in.

    Scan of my diary. I find that scanning does something to (mostly) paper and print I find I love.You can find the uncompressed version on my flickr account which you can zoom and pan around as it pleases you (the original is, of course, huge).

    If you know, you know.

  • I still think of the design system I called “human‑oriented design” in my thesis, in contrast to “human‑centered design”. I wanted to write that I worry that it does not have the fortitude to compete with human‑centered design but now I think that maybe it does not have to.
    Maybe having (an) alternative design system(s) is sound in itself: mine just starts with the human being and its needs, instead of starting with the product and then approximating the human.

  • I believe that a brand is basically built in reverse: you start with the brand and then you design the steps needed to increase the likelihood of someone else calling you that. See this for a better visual https://www.threads.com/@mariobreskic/post/DGOI0EvNPx_ #asca
