Mess to meme to meaning
Last February I gave a lightning talk at the Manila leg of World Information Architecture Day (WIAD)âand I kind of love how it started from meta commentary but grew into something deeper. It’s totally my genre. These are my behind-the-scenes notes on it:

Itâs taken me ages, but Iâve tidied up a bit around here. Welcome to the new-ish, old-ish Stellify: let me show you around.
