Photograph of two people kissing in a community garden in Berlin. The main subject is facing back, wearing a backpack and flared pants. The person kissing them holds the back of their neck with one hand and their glasses with the other. The colors of the clothes they wear (earthy, green) are camouflaged among the colors of the gardens, adorned by the touches of color of some tulips in bloom.

In preparation for my upcoming trip to Berlin in the summer, I’d like to share with you this non-exhaustive list of things I saw during my last trip to Berlin in the spring: 

https://javier.computer/2024/07/31/berlin-en-primavera

I often think that if it weren’t for having to work, I’d be a much more interesting, creative, happy, accomplished, adventurous, healthy, mindful, patient, relaxed, and knowledgeable person… just to name a few things.

A trailer for my 'Binocular Shot' project, where I collect and pay tribute to movies featuring inaccurate binocular shots (a long-time obsession of mine!). Follow the project at binocularshot.tumblr.com, which currently features clips from dozens of great films and White Noise.

My diary for July is up on my website, which means that I've been making a drawing a day for the past six months. That's 180 drawings and counting. 
Thanks for following along!

Over the weekend, I released a tool to analyze Figma design systems and discover naming inconsistencies in component properties. Try it at https://javierarce.github.io/figma-components-analyzer. Code & instructions: https://github.com/javierarce/figma-components-analyzer

I've updated Enfont Terrible –the glitchy and chaotic type foundry that lives inside your browser–, with three new text effects. Simply drag and drop a font file, and then adjust the sliders to generate a new typeface. https://enfont.javierarce.com

"Are.na Manager", my Obsidian plugin that lets you interact with your Are.na blocks and channels is out!

You can install it from Obsidian's Community Plugins or wherever you get your Obsidian plugins: https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=arena-manager

Help me figure out the future of funding kinopio. Comments and feedback extremely welcome https://kinopio.club/kinopio-future-paths-PkYcIhyLE14zf3n_7Gdwq

I think you should know that I'm keeping track of my favorite illustrators in this little Are.na channel right here: https://www.are.na/javier/very-nice-illustrators

Now my online computer (er, blog) knows when I'm using my physical computer. It also works when I open and close the lid.

Using the Jetstream firehose, I created a live feed showing what people are doing on Bluesky at this very moment (sound on): javier.computer/bluesky/iam

Is anyone here attending Naive yearly in Ljubljana?
naiveyearly.com

@javier and I have two tickets and a hotel booking (from the 19th to the 21st) that we are not going to use. 🥲
Please contact us if you are interested.

One month until Naive Yearly! Last year was magical and the highest density of domain names I have experienced. In case you like the poetic web and live nearby Ljubljana, Slovenia, you should consider joining :) https://naiveyearly.com/

Soooo where are all the creative technologists slash creative developers slah digital artists slash interactive designers slash  computational poets hiding in Barcelona?

Now on my blog: a collection of old slash retro slash vintage shop signs from Zaragoza, Spain: https://javier.computer/2024/11/12/cartelismo-zaragozano

This Summer we invited @seungmee_lee to collaborate with us on a template for our new sites product.

Lucky for us she said yes, and today we’re excited to share her template, Booklet! It’s a delightful portfolio template that feels like flipping through colored craft paper.

In an effort to track my reading progress and share my favorite books, I've added a new section to my blog listing the books I've read: https://javier.computer/books

This week I posted a selection of my favorite photos taken over the last few weeks in Berlin, with this one being my absolute favourite.

I have bad news about the future of work.

Hey, what better way to celebrate International Workers' Day than by playing with my piece in Taper's 12th issue: "Type Simulator." https://taper.badquar.to/12/type_simulator.html

If you are in this picture, I have something for you.

I added attachment downloads to the Are.na Manager plugin:  https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=arena-manager

A little drawing I did for the 404 page of a friend's project

It finally happened: my @instagram account (javier) was hacked, even though I had two-factor authentication and used a custom email address specifically for it. If any of you know someone at @Instagram who could help, I'd be super grateful.
