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 […]

Ideas of March
I came across the Ideas of March before, probably last year, but the time had passed and I had forgotten about it. It popped up in my stream again today, on the last day of the month instead of the 15th. Better late than having to wait for next year!
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 […]

Hollywood makes GIFs
I appreciate this Looper poster; the looping quality of a GIF has never been more apropos. Which turned 25 last year, by the way. Stoker goes even further: a whole microsite made up of GIFs—cinemagraphs—which you can also share and download (the ones on the site are rotated and not using CSS) and then a promo spot compiling those animations. The Verge also mentions a Flash-based Catching Fire poster, which […]
Art in Parks
Two artsy events this weekend: one launching in my backyard the north, the other to the south. Fingers crossed I can visit either or both. Plot is a public art project to be launched at the University of the Philippines Sculpture Garden. The project is envisioned as the first of a series that engages outdoor public spaces through creative projects and encounters. This site will chronicle preparations for the project […]
“Web-site creation isn’t something you learn once and then check off on your to do list.”
From Jeff Veen in 1997, via Tim Brown‘s presentation on Universal Typography at the 2012 Ready to Inspire Conference. Yep.
Females, ladies, girls
Update (03/11/16): Update (04/17/13): Wow. Update (03/03/13): More than three weeks later, an apology. This week, this happened. I was pretty content to express my disappointment at the discovery with a retweet and share. But now I’m listing these links here… Sarah Parmenter: Speaking up. Jen Strickland: It sucks to be female. Jensen Inman: Speaking up, it’s time Relly Annet-Baker: Also speaking up. Whitney Hess: Speaking up Geek Feminism Wiki: Timeline of […]
Junior Form Function & Class 2013
PWDO is extremely fortunate to have UST TomasinoWeb as the leading student organization helping out with our FFCs. We’re proud that they’re now on the second year of holding the student version, Junior Form Function & Class (JFFC), on the 16 and 17 of February. It’s also gone two days, two venues (College of St. Benilde on Saturday), and simultaneous workshops. Even this year’s branding takes off on FFC 2012, […]
