I’ve finally fixed the way my body text on my website is being rendered on these small devices everybody insists on using despite them being out of fashion (and having become basically unwieldy mirrors in everyone’s pockets by now) for more than ten years.

No accounting for taste, mind.

Last week, my Automated Social Content Archiving system celebrated its first birthday, and I am gearing up to move our FreshRSS-based information system for media and design into its next version. And we are planning on launching our next project called hyperfutures, a German Verein about futures, about how there is not one future, like there is not one present, but many instead.

I am looking into getting more into type design myself, as well as expanding my tool box of design software, since I found out how to reconnect with my own passions (and wouldn’t you know, staying far away from social media is a huge part of it, just not in the way the people who write articles and books about that thing would have you believe): I just need to be bored, and to surround myself with slow, offline things.*

Currently reading Heavy Metal Magazine, so that helps. Also, I have quit caffeine. At this point, you can call me Mr boring, I think.

*looking into setting aside a budget for interesting software, like FontLab and Rebelle, on top of the usual stuff everyone uses all the time; also came across Feather, which I definitely want to check out. You can check out https://www.threads.com/@joshwhite/post/DMN8EApMyaf to see why I think that this is a useful tool for illustration, especially if you are deep into the two books by Bertling and Robertson. I actually might buy this next time I’m home.
