Piatti del giorno 85

Increasingly feeling that in 50 years we’ll come to see the rush to software-ize everything the way we’re coming to see our past rush to centre the car in all spaces.¹

• awesome-macos-command-line - All your defaults write needs.
• The Revit Open Letter Through the Lens of QWERTY-Nomics - I find the idea that major architectural associations are essentially begging Autodesk to Do Something just disgusting. Software is in everyone’s way, putting toll booths between people who know how to do a thing and a bunch of project/product managers.
• Glies 21 - Very, very nice community housing in Vienna.
• What is a User Interface? - Backstory/philosophy to phronmophobic/membrane, which I’m messing around with.
• PixelSnap 2 for Mac - I am the world’s biggest sucker for nice design measurement tools.
• By Hand And Eye - Via thinking about PixelSnap, which got me thinking back on how I used to covet a fellow drafting student’s brass 10-point dividers, a book about design by proportions. (Also, the publisher is called “Lost Art Press,” which could something possibly be any more laser-targeted at me).
