rumz.org v3
If Rumsey Taylor is not on your radar, this is an excellent opportunity to rectify that error.
Hindsight 2070: We asked 15 experts, "What do we do now that will be considered unthinkable in 50 years?" Here’s what they told us.
Most of these are more aspirations than likely outcomes, and one is included in a rather transparent attempt at ideological diversity (see if you can guess which one!), but an interesting collection… See more →

Hello, dear reader!
February is gone, but its links remain.
I owe you a belated “Happy new year!” since I failed to get this newsletter out the door the past two months. If you’re desperate to see the links that never made it to your inbox during those months, you can find December and January (along with every other edition) on my site.
In February, I finally launched Tinnitus Tracker, a live music diary I’ve… See more →

Hello, dear reader!
March is gone, but its links remain.
I gave a brief talk about designing information at the annual Society for News Design conference, and also shared my notes from the other talks I took in.
Always ahead of the trends, I left Facebook at the beginning of the month, a little over two weeks before the news about Cambridge Analytica broke (news which long-time readers may not have found shocking). Since think… See more →

Why Hollywood Is Trying to Turn Everything Into Movies — Even Mindless Games Like ‘Fruit Ninja’
Vinson then realized that he was faced with a formidable predicament. There are no protagonists or antagonists in Fruit Ninja.
Goldner says the key to making movies from board games and toys is to “focus on understanding the universal truth about the brand.”
The film’s director and co-writer, Tony Leondis, told me that “The Emoji Movie” actually began with… See more →

What’s Your Ideal Community? The Answer Is Political
It’s conceivable that people who live in cities come to value more active government. Or they’re more receptive to investing in welfare because they pass the homeless every day. Or they appreciate immigration because their cab rides and lunch depend on immigrants. This argument is partly about the people we’re exposed to in cities (the poor, foreigners), and partly about the logistics of living there.
The suburbs… See more →

Kasich Goes for ... McCain
At least three prominent Republicans are publicly throwing away their vote.
The Different Stakes of Male and Female Birth Control
for some women, there are tradeoffs between their reproductive freedom and their mental and emotional health.
Not so for men. Though men have an equal responsibility to prevent unwanted pregnancies, they don’t share equally in the consequences, and never have. The burden of birth control has always fallen largely on… See more →

There’s nothing wrong with walled gardens. They’re safe spaces. They take care of your enjoyment and entertainment, so you don’t have to.
But there also a bit boring. I certainly don’t relish the idea of spending my days within the boundaries of someone else’s vision.
There’s a different kind of garden. It takes its name from another short story by Borges.
The Garden of Forking Paths. It is uncontrolled. It is full of possibilities. It’s… See more →

The Contributions of Others: A Session with Jeremy Keith
“I’ve found that on the web, it’s best to assume nothing. That might sound like a scary prospect, but it’s actually quite liberating. Giving up on “pixel-perfect” control doesn’t mean giving up on quality. Quite the opposite: it… See more →
