Let’s start this review with an honest admission. While in the 90s I collected (and read, mostly) tech books like they were going out of style. These days I barely get my hands around a book, let alone consume it. Frankly, I don’t have the time. I have three kids (two are twins) and a […]

A quick shake of the head after a hard hit could signal that a person has a concussion, a new study suggests, based on the experiences of young athletes. It’s an easily recognizable movement that could help significantly reduce the number of concussions that go undiagnosed if added to official evaluation guidelines, according to researchers from Mass General Brigham and the Concussion Legacy Foundation.

What if the secret to unlocking your best creative self was as simple as putting yourself first? There’s this catchy phrase in finance called “Pay Yourself First,” which means setting aside savings before paying any bills. But I believe this concept extends far beyond finances. When we’re constantly pulled in a million directions, learning to quote “pay yourself first” is a simple reminder: Don’t forget about you. Why We Feel Burned Out As creators, our lives are filled with endless projects, tight deadlines, and the constant pressure to innovate. It’s exhilarating but can also be exhausting. How many times have you put off the things you truly want to do—or need to do—for yourself until the end of the day when you’re already tired and wasted? We push ourselves to the brink, squeezing our passions and self-care into the leftover minutes of our days, and then wonder why we feel burned out, unfulfilled, or exhausted. Signs You’re Putting Yourself Last Let’s talk about the signs that you’re caught in this trap of self-neglect. Feeling constantly tired, even after a full night’s sleep, is a big one. Struggling to fall asleep or waking up frequently throughout the night might also ring...

Unsolicited redesigns are fun. They’re also always criticized for their superficial approach that only takes care of surface level problems. Developers at Raureif have done yet another redesign of Wikipedia, but with one big difference from all the other redesigns: they’ve actually created a real, working app.

Since Wikipedia has a permissive license, you can repackage (and even sell) its content if you so wish, so there is little stopping anyone from implementing a functional redesign of the site (besides all the hard work). The team at Raureif have seized this opportunity and created Das Referenz – an iOS Wikipedia app. Apart from seeing your ideas tested in the real world, this hands-on approach to redesign also gives you an opportunity to profit from them: if the new UI provides enough value, people will pay you for it through app sales or via ads (Das Referenz uses both ads and a pay-for option to remove ads). That’s how you do a Wikipedia redesign.

Joel Unger approaches the blurry, semi-transparent window aesthetic, recently introduced in iOS7 and now making its way to OS X Yosemite, from the standpoint of evolutionary biology. He argues that the reasons for this latest trend, as well as other trends, are: 1) the visual effect is relatively rare, and 2) the effect is expensive to achieve (in this case expensive in terms of graphics processing power). Both of these go hand in hand given that what is expensive to achieve is probably also going to be rare, at least for the period it still remains expensive. While these two things are initially the differentiator for the trendsetter, they will inevitably be mimicked by others, resulting in a design trend.

About a month into the economic shutdown that came as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, I started to notice something that was, let’s say, peculiar. At least peculiar to me. I’m an introvert. I certainly don’t deny that. The “stay at home” orders were really not a problem for me or my family. I …
