"The importance of learning to code isn’t so that everyone will write code, and bury the world under..."

“The importance of learning to code isn’t so that everyone will write code, and bury the world under billions of lines of badly conceived Python, Java, and Ruby. The importance of code is that it’s a part of the world we live in. I’ve had enough of legislators who think the Internet is about tubes, who haven’t the slightest idea about legitimate uses for file transfer utilities, and no concept at all about what privacy (and the invasion of privacy) might mean in an online space. I’ve had enough of patent inspectors who approve patents for which prior art has existed for decades. And I’ve had enough of judges making rulings after listening to lawyers arguing about technologies they don’t understand. Learning to code won’t solve these problems, but coding does force engagement with technology on a level other than pure ignorance. Coding is a part of cultural competence, even if you never do it professionally. Alsup is a modern hero.”

Art + Science = Pop Culture Crater Parties

It turns out, the International Astronomical Union’s policy for naming craters on Mercury only uses names of deceased artists, musicians and authors. I absolutely adore the idea of a group of astronomers and astrophysicists sitting around, volleying nominees and vying for their favorite crater-worthy individuals. Twenty-three made the cut including Dr. Seuss and Andy Warhol, but to see the the full list, check out NASA’s Solar System Exploration site.

Peter Vidani on the Evolution of the Tumblr Dashboard

Ministry of Design senior minister Peter Vidani lays hands on every aspect of Tumblr’s visual and usage aesthetic. Initially contracted to work on theme creation, he came aboard full-time in 2009 and has steadily advanced his design philosophy of utility and simplicity. One of his primary, perpetual obsessions could be considered the real face of Tumblr: the Dashboard.
