Maybe not every Monday

First Thing Monday, edition #121

I'll be honest with you, dear readers,

I'm feeling burnt out. What with moving to a new country with 3 kids, a hectic job and a dog that needs CONSTANT walking, I'm not sure i can quite keep with writing a weekly newsletter.

I’ll keep posting, of course, but I think I might just dial the frequency down a notch, for sanity reasons. At least for now.

Anyhoo, a few links for your Monday enjoyment:

• Accessible Fart Machines
  

• Here lies the internet, murdered by generative AI. Just one of the many reads that has gotten me feeling cold about AI right now.
  

• Elizabeth Goodspeed on the importance of taste – and how to acquire it.
  

• 10 Heuristics to Simplify Design Decision-Making
  

• The Hayao Miyazaki Sequences That Changed Animators’ Lives
  

• These Dieter Rams inspired UI components are rather lovely
  

• The Rebalancing of Design Management

See you again, soonish. I promise.
