There are companies with internal podcasts??

Is there a reason Wikidata doesn’t have more prompting for suggested tags to add?

More like Dunkin 'don't'-nuts!

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways? aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

I've finally written about all the branding and website work I did alongside a few helpful collaborators and previous colleagues @webrecorder.net! If you've ever wanted to know why we used those colours or the rationale behind the logos, answers lie within! wilkinson.graphics/projects/web...
