⇾ Star Trek Design

This is so nerdy and I love it. Eno created a website on which you can find a lot of the interior, glassware, and so on from all Star Trek series with Info of who designed it and what its original name is.

Eno writes:

Star Trek + Design began as a personal quarantine project in March of 2020, a little over a year since buying my first Bodum Bistro (Picard Cup) set. I’d just been laid off from my job due to the pandemic, and found myself spending far more time watching Star Trek than I had when I was employed. Being drawn to the aesthetics of Trek, especially of The Next Generation, made me curious about the specific objects that set designers used to create the visual embodiment of what living and working on a starship would look like in a technologically-advanced, post-scarcity future.

Enjoy!

⇾ The Production “Workflow” of Our Live Online Streaming Shows at Stay Curious

During the last couple of days I sat down and emptied my head around how I produce my online events over there at beyond tellerrand which I titled Stay Curious.

I went from planning to production and tried to cover everything, but not to go into too much detail. Surely you can write a lot about each of those points on its own and in case you have questions to any specific part, please let me know.

Feed back is welcome also, of course.

⇾ A Complete Guide to Custom Properties on CSS Tricks

Chris Coyier has created this guide on custom CSS properties. Make your CSS code more readable, cleaner and safe time changing stuff.

To the question ”Why care about CSS custom properties?” Chris writes …

  1. They help DRY up your CSS. That is “Don’t Repeat Yourself.” Custom properties can make code easier to maintain because you can update one value and have it reflected in multiple places. Careful though, overdoing abstraction can make have the opposite effect and make code less understandable.
  2. They are particularly helpful for things like creating color themes on a website.
  3. They unlock interesting possibilities in CSS.
  4. The fact that they can be updated in JavaScript opens up even more interesting doors.
