They Didn’t Just Want to Build a Housing Shelter. They Wanted to Shift Public Perception:
Changing the way the public perceives shelters informed the design. From the nearby highway, the first glimpse you get of the structure includes an impressive mural by Australian artist Guido van Helten stretched across its 3,000-square-foot facade. A passerby might think this is an art museum, a shop, or possibly a school.
Nice clouds tonight.

🛖 Bothies are “simple shelters in remote country for the use & benefit of all who love wild & lonely places.”
🤖 “Hiding on Slack isn’t all that hard, apparently; you just have to pretend you’re a bot. That’s what IT Brew’s Tom McKay did when he left Gizmodo in 2022, and he went undetected by the site’s management for months.”
📺 “Few cable and satellite networks are a force anymore, the byproduct of sudden changes in how people entertain themselves. Several have lost more than half their audiences in a decade. They’ve essentially become ghost networks, filling their schedules with reruns and barely trying to push toward anything new.”
Walden Pond “is a little paper zine that comes once a month in the mail. It’s full of a selection of the articles you’ve saved to Pocket.”
Jason Kottke on latest design of kottke.org:
In thinking about how I wanted kottke.org to look and, more importantly, feel going forward, I wanted more social media energy than blog energy — one could also say “more old school blog energy than contemporary blog energy”. Blogs now either look like Substack/Medium or Snow Fall and I didn’t want to pattern kottke.org after either of those things. I don’t want to write articles — I want to blog.
My response? 🤘!!!
Knowing Machines “is a research project tracing the histories, practices, and politics of how machine learning systems are trained to interpret the world.”
The art of Felipe Bedoya is pretty amazing. Example:
I’m always on the lookout for good instrumental music to work to and Modern Country by William Tyler is that.
“It’s the fact that you recognized the thing that is important, not the thing itself. It’s your radar.”
Dead Simple Sites is “the most minimal sites on the web, curated in one place.”
The Golden Age of Web Design, some of these sites are still 🔥.
