Time management and timezones are definitely complicated. In a way it's culture colliding with computers and localisation... it can't be simple.
Excellent piece, we're a civilisation whose culture is built on shifting sands and... toy plastics. Guess what will survive us?
Interesting take about the mantras often used in our profession. They shouldn't be treated as laws, but as proverbs carrying a piece of contextual wisdom. It's thus unsurprising that they tend to contradict each other. This contradiction should make us pause and think.
I've been listening to these radio channels the past few weeks. It's quirky, it's weird, it's wild. I definitely recommend them to get out of your usual music bubble.
Very nice account of how the Internet is nowadays and how it got there. I like the gardening metaphor which works nicely here. And yes, we can go back to a better Web again. It's a collective decision though, that's what makes it hard.
This is a big and relevant release for open and freely accessible culture.
A few points to take with a pinch of salt, especially regarding the proposed solutions. Still it makes a very good point that most transformation failures toward agile organizations are due to lack of trust and the swapping of one bureaucracy for another.
Happy birthday indeed. Was an excellent and culturally relevant game.
Definitely this, it's better when you don't make people feel stupid.
Excellent piece about the resurgence of old trends on the web.
Good continuation of "where have all the websites gone?". They're still here but we changed, all the more reason for curating.
This is in part why I started my web review... maybe I should start a kind of blogroll, or maybe have links to websites I like straight on my front page.
Very inspiring article. I really wish we'll indeed see more and more weird and creative websites. People apparently feels uneasy in their current social media jails, the time is ripe to leap in the unknown again.
Shows why it's important to go for a blameless culture, also outside of postmortem. This is definitely not easy but worth it.
This is unclear on the technicalities (is it even possible to just claim it like this? is CC0 required? etc.). Still this is a bold move, hats off to this renowned author.
Interesting conservation work. Video games being part of our culture, especially indie ones, it's important for such work to happen and be funded.
If you only stream it, it won't be available forever. Keep this in mind when it's something you find culturally relevant... it might require some conservation work.
Very good points about cultural differences. Indeed some people directly ask and express their needs, others are more waiting and take into account everyone else's needs when asked. Both have pros and cons, it's important to know where you stand.
I actually always wondered about this, now I know. :-)
Good advice to fight against FOMO as far as reading material is concerned... just pluck things as they pass by. There's so much content there's likely redundancy anyway, hopefully. Yeah... I'm not cured.
