COOL TIME WASTERS 💫 RED FLAGS FOR DEVS 💫 UX CLICHÉS

Welcome, Spring!

All the links seem better once Spring kicks in; the sun is back from hiatus and you can finally see the smog on the horizon again.

It was a great week for links, but I exercised link self-control (which sounds like 50% surprise with a mixture of awe, contempt, and realization). I found a bunch of fun things to do on the internet, some creative icons, great tools, and the easy way to Dali up your landing page.

Finally, if you could pick one animal to mind-meld with, which would it be?

The safest way to combine desire and confusion. 🔉

This is an interactive map that accurately conveys the sounds we make to express our emotions. It works with a rollover but you can click and drag the audio points to create new sounds. It gets extra points for the formulas which tell you exactly how much of each emotion go into making the sound. For example, at a certain tone embarrassment is 8% ecstasy.

*Probably best if you use headphone when in the office. Things can get a little bit crazy with this one.

Awesome Kickstarter Project: Portable speaker made from plastic waste. ♻️

Experiment with animating type in space: create cylinders of type, stripes of type, and fields of type.

Seriously funky.
My favorite is the hoops preset for the cylinder because it has the most hypnotic quality of them all. You can emphasize this with changes to X-Y for each of the elements. It's like a lava lamp with words. Words, Jerry. Words.
