Lazy designers

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Imagine you are a car manufacturer and you want your cars not only to outperform your competitor’s cars in technical performance but also in visual appeal. Of course you would hire a designer to do that. Any designer? No - you would hire a designer that not only is a good designer but one that also knows about aerodynamics and the technical limitations like how much space does the motor take up.

Same game, different results with web designers. Every designer i worked with to create a website had no idea what designing for the web is about (one noticeable exception, who happens to be an ex-flatmate and a very good friend). All of them simply replied with “simply cut it out” or “pick the color from the photoshop file” when confronted with questions about how to get all the info needed to implement the design in html.

Thinking Dirty I

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Well, the past few weeks i have spent literally nearly all my time doing research on 9/11, Patriot Act, American History in general, American History in Particular around the assassination of Kennedy and a LOT more (i read about 2000+ pages of documents from all kind of media outlets and official sources). I tried to be as conservative as possible and consider lots of effects visible throughout the history being based on implicit system effects (e.g. “group think“).

All i can tell you, esp. if you live in the U.S. don’t get brainwashed by mainstream media and get informed. The first duty of the people of america right now is getting informed and asking your government some serious questions about what is/was going on. I will try to compile a few things in the next few weeks but i can tell you, right now i already have enough material together i think is worthwhile to fill a book.

Get out there, ask questions, step back from what the mass media and your immediate surroundings tell you to be right/wrong and think for yourself.

It should be immanent for blogs and blogging to convert every receiver into a sender as well. The only thing i am still missing in all the blogging is getting to the real issues today. This is OUR (meaning EVERY HUMAN BEING) world and we can shape it peacefully into a paradise for EVERYONE. Start NOW.

Well to give you some hints where to begin:

  • look up (meaning google) a “Project for a new american century” and a document called “Building up America’s Defenses
  • Revisit 911, i recommend “Loose Change 2nd Edition” to get started but i can tell you there’s a LOT more out there.
  • I’ll drop a few names
    • David Ray Griffin
    • Dr Michael Parenti
    • Alex Jones (thumbs up, man)
    • Nafeez M. Ahmed

I don’t want to tell you what to think because the most important thing of all is getting you TO THINK for yourself! Get informed!
