WebrockerOn Design Tools and Processes - Viljami Salminen
For the past year(s) I’ve been chasing for answers. Looking for new tools, thinking about design processes and figuring out what design really means to me. At times I’ve felt so disconnected with our processes that I’ve wondered if my career choice was right. For a field rooted in the fine arts this period of…
Accessibility, The Free Market, and Punching Nazis While Sitting Down – Heydon Pickering
By characterizing disability as a discrete ‘target’ group, the aim is to excuse the creation of products and services which do not cater for disability. “Oh I’m not making things for disabled people. But I’m sure someone else is, don’t worry. Such-and-such law of economics states it must be so.” Disability does not work that…

KTK by 281_ – Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Amerika.
Es gibt manchmal Illustrationen, die sind so auf den Punkt, besser gehts nicht. Diese hier des Tokyoer Streetartisten "281_ anti nuke" gehört definitiv dazu: Klickst Du kuckst Du (wegen Copyright als Link und von wegen kein https nicht als Deeplink image).

Going rogue - Jeremy Keith
now we’re into slippery slopes and glass houses. One person might draw the line at creating a Muslim registry. Someone else might draw the line at including any kind of invasive tracking script on a website. Someone else again might decide that the line is crossed by including Google Analytics. It’s moral relativism all the…
Richard David Precht in der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung
(…) das grösste Problem besteht darin, dass das, was wir «Realpolitik» nennen und was nahezu alle Politiker betreiben, dass das in Wahrheit keine Realpolitik ist. Realpolitik bedeutet heute, das zu machen, was gerade opportun ist – ohne strategisches Verständnis dafür, was das mittel- oder langfristig bedeutet. Das kann sehr gut dazu führen, dass wir in…

The Aesthetic Of Non-Opinionated Content Management: A Beginner’s Guide To ProcessWire – Francesco Schwarz
An great overview and introduction to my favorite CMS, by Francesco on Smashing Magazine: I think what resonates with a lot of people is that ProcessWire is a system that goes from simple to complex, not the other way around. It doesn’t assume what you want to build, but instead lays a strong, non-opinionated foundation…

A Front End Developer is Aware - Chris Coyier
In a general sense, the front end developer is positioned in the middle of lots of other jobs. Everybody involved in a web team ends up talking with the front end developers. That makes sense. The front end developers create the actual thing people interact with. Everything comes together with the front end developer. Perhaps…
