I am relaunching my website with Astro. Writing down a word or two about the previous version, React Static, and the original “MDX” experience.

A brilliant talk by Patrycja Rozmus (Design Systems & Foundations Lead at Brainly) advocating for design systems as the thread that weaves consistency through brand, marketing and product design.

In this brilliant talk, Lauren LoPrete (Senior Product Design Manager at Dropbox) shares experience and provides useful tips on how to increase the system’s sphere of influence and buy-in from stakeholders.

Bonus: :moneybag: a priceless insight on why rolling out a design system can be challenging.

They said it couldn’t be done, but we drove to France to take a look. In the end, F1 is not that great experience to see live. Unless you are interested in the beautiful decay of civilisation :smirk: because all of this is obviously not sustainable.

I was like 11 when I first heard this album. It took me not long to memorize the lyrics, the jokes, the sound of everything in the intervals of the songs. This might be the origin story of my fixation with music, especially popular music, played live in front of an audience.

I have a bunch of “songs” :guitar: recorded at home, here in Barcelona, that I was hoping I could record better in the studio. But thats not happening soon because our world leaders suck, so I am just going to leave them here.

Black Lives Matter. Save The Planet. End Inequality. :fist: 2020 SUCKS. Massive Attack just released a 3 song EP and it contains more insights on the sad state of our world than everything else you saw today. I am writing this on the day it was released, trying to process it and taking some notes.

This is one of my favourite live recordings of all time. I got the extended version for cheap bucks at a record store. And later, compared to other friends’ copies, realised that this is the only version that really matters here, because the original release, which contains only separate performances from Getz and Gilberto, is missing the most important part.

This album is an incredible historical document, as much as it is a layer cake of precious stories, that I have been discovering since it entered my life in the late 90s in CD format.

How can something made in such a dark place be so inspiring? How can someone so depressed find the time, the energy and the resolve, to complete this laborious, delicate, beautiful piece of art? And, rhetorically we might also ask: how can someone so talented die so young? :scream: What is being young?
