Bad design: both sides are made of the same material. People sometimes rub with the side that’s supposed to be held. The eraser becomes dirty.

Good design: hard grip. The eraser stays clean.

This is everything published to my Telegram channel in the last month.

April 16

Since January, Twitter has the rights to do whatever it wants to with published content. This is contrary to my world view in which I own and control everything that is a product of my mind.

The blog format doesn’t suit everything I’d like to say, so I started this Telegram channel.

Apple Notes on the Mac is absolutely unresponsive, especially to two-finger clicks. Keep in mind that this software is made in-house...

April 21

Elevator operators now have a job again.

FIGMA IS FANTASTIC

The Japanese know what pleasure is: they have Boneless Fish!

Mac bugs keep getting worse and worse. Apple should release another Snow Leopard this year.

May 2

Sometimes I want to do an image search with the picture I have in mind.

May 8

Just saying: I don’t care about trends. I always act out of my own will.

P. S. I hope these words won’t come back to haunt me.

It always surprises me how Disney makes ugly animals look cute.

Room 104 is the dumbest yet most brilliant show. It proves that any nonsensical artistic idea should be experimented with.

The voice actor impersonating Trump never sounds like Trump, but he does create a metaphor.

In the past few weeks I really fell in love with jasmine tea.

The slogan for the 2020 Eurovision would have been “Open Up”. Hahaha

Using keyboard shortcuts is much quicker than pointing and clicking. Therefore I eliminated toolbars wherever possible.

I design my environment in a way that encourages healthy habits.

I made a horrible mistake. There was a double pause in a place where there should have been one. I updated the file in my previous post.

This is the nicest map of the Nice tram network ever designed:

The map serves its goal of helping people get around Nice by tram. There is no distracting garbage.

Unlike the current official map, all tram stations are shown on mine:

The most complicated interchange, Grand Arénas, has become legible:

I encourage the city of Nice to adopt my map as the official one.

I can’t stand it when people stop themselves from making a decision by constantly asking “what if”. Just check the important factors and do it! But this doesn’t apply to health.

Eating an extra kiwi could extend my life by an hour. Blinking a few more times while reading could keep my eyesight from worsening.

It’s impossible to know which minuscule decisions could lead to drastic effects, and this is sombre. The only way to make them a non-issue is to fully control our health. We are still far from making this a reality.

Whether something is delicious or disgusting depends entirely on one’s beliefs. It’s effortless to turn food that was once vomited into one’s favorite meal.

Music services run by machines let Christmas carols be heard right after Gangnam Style.

Online radios run by humans don’t.

Music disappears when loud sounds are rocking the walls. The composition, melody, and energy vanish. Only pounding remains.

Music should let itself be heard without yelling.
