“We live in a hyper-connected world where things don’t seem to have happened unless you post about them. An emotion hardly seems validated until it’s been shared with others online.

On average, we spend a quarter of our lives online. For people we never met in person, all they know about us is our digital self formed from our data spread out across the internet. Our online activity creates a peculiar portrait of ourselves that will unavoidably long last our lifespan.

So with life being lived increasing online, how is it that we have thought so little about our digital death?”

Make me think

Craft: thoughts on elevating product quality →

“As the fossil fuel industry that powers our vehicles is responsible for environmental catastrophes, it becomes clear that we should rethink our dependence on the personal vehicle and our decision to build our communities in ways that force people to drive.”

Inside Framer's magic motion →
“My favourite part about Framer Motion by far is its magical layout animations—slap on the layout prop to any motion component, and watch as that component seamlessly transitions from one part of the page to the next.”
