The thing is, I despised LiveJournal’s shoddy features and MySpace & Friendster’s tendencies to fill profiles to the brim with crap. And I have zero tolerance for any Tumblr that blasts autoplaying music. But I appreciate Tumblr’s battlecry to make social networking profiles less of a uniform. People who care enough about beautiful design and code, and are okay with people using their tools to “make a mess” instead of imposing […]
Instantly reminded me of these Age Maps but has that “built-in audience”: have you ever noticed how there’s a certain look the most popular Hollywood actors have, or how some of them look similar even though they aren’t related? The series Iconatomy by George Chamoun explains a lot. The whole showbiz machine seems to have a type. “I think the concept of beauty has definitely been altered. We still have […]
There are a lot of photos in this post but they barely approximate each place, so please click through for more. One thing is certain: everything will make you feel tiny.
“Blue is fascinating because the vast majority of animals are incapable of making it with pigments,” [Yale ornithologist Rick] Prum says. In fact, of all Earth’s inhabitants with backbones, not one is known to harbor blue pigment. Even some of the most brilliantly blue things in nature — a peacock feather, or a blue eye, for example — don’t contain a single speck of blue pigment. So, how can they […]
Like Seoul, Beijing gave me the “I can’t believe I got here” feels. Another round of visa requirements conquered (with more pains going through Philippine red tape than the Chinese embassy) but more importantly: it’s stepping foot in China. Massive, historic China. It appears a single post is not enough given how many photos I took, so here’s part one.
Six years into this crazy, bumpy ride that is the Philippine Web Designers Organization and the quest to create a web design conference in this country, we’re actually still here! And holding the 5th <form> function() & .class already!
To use Ely’s term, it was a very intimate setup at Commune for the January 2014 MiniFFC web design meetup. Rina covered the essential factors in dealing with clients, pricing, growing your business, and picking out work for your portfolio. You can download the slides by clicking above. For more in-depth training about this, there’s the Going Pro workshop series happening this March. Chard gave an overview of mobile app […]
I’ll put the blathering on hold until after the event. CLICK, REGISTER, NOW! Our annual web design conference is on November 9-10 at the Benilde SDA Campus. The rest of the info is listed on the page. There are 2 contests where you can win a ticket (ends October 22), and an Early Bird rate (ends October 26).
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 […]
