This kind of goes hand in hand with the last one. Brian Eno made Oblique Strategies with Peter Schmidt in the 70s. It’s a deck of cards where each card has a vague phrase or aphorism on it, intended to be used while trying to make a decision creatively. But now it’s online and in an app so I use them any chance I get. Not just in creative situations. Pretty much any decision. I usually draw three.

not sure who recommended this but it’s so good i look at it every day. it’s a really good creative guide when you’re feeling stuck. one day i got “you can only draw one dot at a time” so i spent a solid hour dotting this. very fun! very interesting prompts! and brian eno yay!

This little icon is present in my curriculum, I always try to add a representation of my creative process. It helps me to think about it, its a requirement for me to make a concept. This one is the best so far. The text says: notice think ask understand write edit

Funny, weird, existential. Feels like it could have been made this year.

neal.fun - a bunch of bizarre games/interactives with a dystopian and anti-caplitalist bent window-swap - shows you the view from random windows from around the world radio/garden - you can listen to live radio stations from all across the world ytch.xyz - show you random youtube channels and let's you click through like you're watching an old television marginalia-search - a search engine that isn't algorithmic, shows you niche search results that would typically be pushed to the bottom of other engines thecreativeindependent - articles by creatives, very simplified retro design that feels similar to this site The Magazine Rack at Archive.org - tons and tons of scanned and archived magazines spanning over 50 years - recommend checking out High Times very fun and oh so 70's
