I did the unthinkable today: I switched my website to Times New Roman for the sake of #readability.

When night comes, I cherish the silence of my laptop: the soft taps of the keys, the silent touchpad for mouse movement and input.
It all becomes so full of intent, like playing piano silently, because the music plays inside of you.
I was never much of a friend of the hubbub, I’d say

I have been thinking about this for quite a while, and there is a public part to my process anyhow, so let me start with that public part, and then move it back into my personal notes later:
are there any undead websites out there, where hosting/server costs are covered in advance for years, everything is automated but the person who authored the website is dead or has been dead for a while, and nobody is responsible?
Maybe calling it a tomb would be more apt?

Since I got my feed‑server up and running again (which means I also got my feed reader apps pointing to this main hub), I am now tuned back into what the design and art world is doing, above a certain threshold of notability of course (for the cool stuff I still need to dig into it, talk to people directly, you know, get a connection; magazines and websites can’t reasonably be expected to allocate resources to writing articles for single‑digit audiences).
There is a new short series on ARTE called “Change by Design”, which you can check out here. I will watch it later as well. It seems to revolve around sustainable products, so I know the products are not for everyone, for various reasons.
I personally like to keep that connection I have made last year to the arts and crafts community, during a seminar for my alma mater’s alumni about what we call “Kunsthandwerk”.
Bonus: “Typographic Video Gaming”, an episode from the series “Art of Gaming”, also on ARTE.

Where was I?
During graphic design study, we had what I thought was a too short semester of video class, as in moving pictures, you know, storyboarding, types of shots and crops, animation in 2d and 3d.
And my professor then was really amazed by the show called “Devs”, and how the sfx and computer generated effects looked and worked in that show, so of course I incidentally already had that CineFex magazine issue #171 with the long article about some of the video effects in that show, and I sent him the article, because I was so amazed by it as well, still am.
To this day, I still wonder what he thought of that, a student, out of nowhere, pulling up an article from the only issue of a magazine he has bought a couple of weeks before, talking about a show he thought was neat. Serendipity? Attempted bribery?
So anyway, here are a couple of links about Devs, for me and you:
ps: since my archival system at https://social.mariobreskic.de/ (that is my URL by the way 😎) is working nicely, you don’t even have to log in anywhere to have access to what I am up to on my socials these days. You can search it, too (if you were around at that time, I like making things which are searchable, like I did with my year‑long project grafikdesignfeed.de where you could access a plethora of graphic design feeds, search them and use them).
That project still exists in a way, since I am not in the habit of destroyng things; it just isn’t part of the clear web anymore.

Progress is an infinite train going in a flat spiral. I can hop off whenever I like the scenery I see. You like an area in between the rails? Sure, hop to it!
The train will keep doing its thing, while I go around building my own stuff. I can hop back on if I feel like it, otherwise let’s wave at each other 😉
