Structural simplicity is not necessarily visual simplicity. Modular devices are structurally simple, but often physically bulky. MacBook power bricks are visually simple, but structurally too complex to be repaired.

Philosophically, structural simplicity is the one to prioritise. Form follows function.

Designing a webstead around the avoidance of CSS leads to a reduction in bloat and an improvement in structure.

It also makes plain sense. Visitors are already setting their preferences, whether font size, color theme, or window width. I’m just extending this way of thinking to style sheets, which can be customised thru browsers.

I’m happy to have my webstead listed in the No-CSS Club. Some day, this blog too will wave goodbye to cascades.

There’s a music festival in town right now:

I’m in love with Cervo’s number plaque typography:

Here’s another pretty plaque:

A smol building with an elegant wooden door:

Interesting stickers:

A table:

Esthetically-illustrated packaging:

Fun candles:

Window ornaments:

Some symbol:

Ah, the textures of Italy:

A cat:

A flower:

Some passage:

A road:

A view:

The sun is a force for good. It gives Earth life.

The sun’s enemies are life’s enemies. Vampires, plastic, Bill Gates, and the Biden administration.

Carbon is the foundation of all organic matter. A war on carbon is therefore a war on natural life — technosatanists yearn for a world of synthetic L-GPT entities.

Someone is trolling our world thô. The carbon atom is made of 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons: 666.

The only decarbonisation I endorse is the avoidance of carbohydrates.

My webstead now has a /design page, which gathers all of my visual works as large images.

Enjoy!

No sweets are as tasty as blackberries on a bush under sunlight.
