I had the great pleasure of visiting the Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp last October. Their vast collection of woodblocks are available to dowload in high resolution (and they’re in the public domain).
14,000 examples of true craftmanship, drawings masterly cut in wood. We are supplying this impressive collection of woodcuts in high resolution. Feel free to browse as long as you like, get inspired and use your creativity.
A fascinating treasure trove of objects recovered from the canals of Amsterdam.
A wonderful—and humorous—deep dive into all things time-related.
Building a calendar sucks. Like there’s really cool shit you can do, since every calendar out there today is basically straight outta 2005, but at the end of the day you’re stuck dealing with all of the edge cases that all your dork friends have warned you about since the dawn of time. (Like literally, the dawn of time is a separate edge case you have to account for as well.)
This also contains a well-deserved shout-out to ISO 8601:
ISO 8601 is one of my favorite standards and/or RFC out there. And yes, you should definitely have a favorite.
I do have a favourite RFC—ask me about it sometime over a beer.
Every time you wax, God kills a crab.
Oh, the irony! I've sparked a veritable orgy of antfucking.
