Got some recent discoveries lately pertaining to linking words and ideas. The great thing about these two tools is that they could export HTML files.
“TiddlyBlink is an adaptation of TiddlyWiki with the goal of helping you see connections between your ideas, and move quickly from one idea to another.”
“Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories.”

Well, let’s face it. These laws that you say, hidden laws, they are hidden. But they’re only hidden by our own ignorance. And the word “mysticism” is just being arrived at through people’s ignorance. There’s nothing mystical about it, only that you’re ignorant of what that entails.

And yet design and designers. I’m a designer, and what I’ve seen is that we are perpetually distressed, perpetually feel threatened by the idea of democratization. As long as I’ve been a designer there’s been talk about the idea of accreditation, about the idea of licensing designers, about making people take training, take tests in order to practice design, regulating the practice of design. Designers take a look at services and website like 99 Designs, which is a website, a marketplace–if you have a design task that you need done, a business card or something, you post it there and designers bid on the job and the effect is it drives down the price of design. It drives down to the median value of design.

And that’s something that I think that we can do a lot more as designers, and I know it is not an easy thing to do, because a lot of our practice is to serve commercial goals and purposes. Under that kind of condition it’s not that easy to say, “Okay. Are we doing the right thing? Or are we doing good design right now?”
