Caritakathon 2013

Caritakathon 2013

This thank you letter sums up the essence of Caritakathon and our take as organizers of the event. We hope that’s what all the participants took away from it as well. For our first time organizing a 2-day hackathon, which is almost as major as putting together a 2-day web design conference (if not more so, since people stayed overnight) we did a pretty good job! When the teams presented the […]

MiniFFC #15 in pictures: Rails & more coffee

This isn’t going to be such an informative post, just mostly commentary in photo essay format. Great turnout! Venue’s at the Globe Showroom, and worked very well for a Makati meetup spot.

Pancy Letter ice cream cart lettering

The MiniFFC mini web design conference & meetups started back up again after going into hibernation during PWDO’s conference season (that’s FFC and JFFC). The old schedule was every other month before and after FFC, which (d)evolved into an irregular, arbitrary thing based on how available we were to plan them. The new schedule is now regular and more ambitious: every 3rd Wednesday of the month. Between that and another […]

Sketchnotes books by Eva-Lotta Lamm & Mike Rohde

Sketchnotes books by Eva-Lotta Lamm & Mike Rohde

Although not free like Pixeltalks and Besquare, whose conference video collections ease the agony of not being in countries where these awesome events are held, these Sketchnotes books by Eva-Lotta Lamm are looking really good in my cart right now. But don’t worry, you can still browse the hundreds of scanned sketches on Flickr, amongst lovely calligraphy to boot. Don’t you just love how the default instinct of the web […]
