Building is no longer the bottleneck, you can vibe code your idea over a weekend.

Use this challenge to learn how to vibe create video. And walk away with $25K.

I was laid off from Twitter today. I was the designer in charge of our new rebranding to X.
I learned so much in my 2.5 weeks at the company but I’m excited to see where I land next.
If you’re hiring a self taught, junior designer please DM me. Graphic design is my passion!

The 2023 Work Kit of Design Fiction! 100 mad prompt cards for imagining all kinds of near futures. I ran the numbers: there are exactly 916,038 possible futures in this 8 ounce box. That's lots of potential. More than 114k futures per ounce, to be precise.

These guys made me sound clever discussing the hard work necessary to #imagineharder and the obligation we all have to spend time in our futures rather than someone else's future.

🎂 Exciting news! 13 years ago I wrote the first comprehensive essay on 'Design Fiction' (blog.nearfuturelaboratory.co…).
Shortly our book on the topic — 'The Manual of Design Fiction' — will be published! (Paper ordered. Presses inked and warming up!) (nearfuturelaboratory.myshopi…).
