    1. Links are associative. This is a huge deal. Links are there not only as a quick way to get to source material. They remind you of the questions you need to ask, of the connections that aren’t immediately evident.

      This just made the idea of annotations very exciting to me.

    3. Complicated, incidentally, is the opposite of simple, not complex
    1. Eames – outside of the world of design scholarship and commercial licenses – has become a word applied to alchemise junk shop remnants.

    1. we try to not make a specific interface. Instead, we always use the content as the interface. This is how we always design. In Cargo, there’s no design, there’s just content. You click on a thumbnail, but the thumbnail is just a smaller representation of the project. Essentially the browser is the canvas—it is the design—whereas, with a lot of web design, you see people making designs inside the browser, like a box inside a box, and then shading here, adding a bar there. But we don’t do that. We try to disappear.
