Wie trinkst du deinen Kaffee? How do you like your coffee?

– schwarz (black)

– mit Milch (with milk)

– mit Zucker (with sugar)

– mit Süßstoff (with sweetener)

Ich trinke meinen Kaffee gerne schwarz mit Süßstoff und manchmal auch mit Milch. Mmmh. Lecker.

(I like to drink my coffee black with sweetener and sometimes with milk, too. Mmmh. Yummy.)

1. The web is transitioning from mere interactivity to a more dynamic, real-time web where read-write functions are heading towards balanced synchronicity. The real-time web, as I have argued in the past, is the next logical step in the Internet’s evolution. 2. The complete disaggregation of the web in parallel with the slow decline of the destination web. 3. More and more people are publishing more and more “social objects” and sharing them online. That data deluge is creating a new kind of search opportunity.

The Grammys = the old guard / old media propping up their puppets trying to convince the outside world (and each other) they’re relevant.

Trent Reznor (via)

Designers should be arbiters of the truth: They should be the kind of people who stand up and tell it like it is, and that usually calls for courage.

Kevin Mattice (via clear war)

Es gehört oft mehr Mut dazu seine Meinung zu ändern, als ihr treu zu bleiben.

(Very often you need more courage to change your opinion than to stick to it.)

Friedrich Hebbel (via germanheit)

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
