The seeds are found in coffee cherries, which grow on trees cultivated in over 70 countries. - -Roasting coffee transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee products. The roasting process is what produces the characteristic flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to expand and to change in color, taste, smell, and density. Unroasted beans contain similar acids, protein, and caffeine as those that have been roasted, but lack the taste. Heat must be applied for the Maillard and other chemical reactions to occur. - ->“Among the numerous luxuries of the table…coffee may be considered as one of the most valuable. It excites cheerfulness without intoxication; and the pleasing flow of spirits which it occasions…is never followed by sadness, languor or debility.” -Benjamin Franklin - -As green coffee is more stable than roasted, the roasting process tends to take place close to where it will be consumed. This reduces the time that roasted coffee spends in distribution, giving the consumer a longer shelf life.

The grid serves as an armature on which a designer can organize text and images in a rational, easy to absorb manner. - -Before the invention of movable type and printing, simple grids based on optimal proportions had been used to arrange handwritten text on pages. One such system, known as the Villard Diagram, was in use at least since medieval times. - -After World War II, a number of graphic designers, including Max Bill, Emil Ruder, and Josef Müller-Brockmann, influenced by the modernist ideas of Jan Tschichold’s Die neue Typographie (The New Typography), began to question the relevance of the conventional page layout of the time. They began to devise a flexible system able to help designers achieve coherency in organizing the page. - -The result was the modern typographic grid that became associated with the International Typographic Style. The seminal work on the subject, Grid systems in graphic design by Müller-Brockmann, helped propagate the use of the grid, first in Europe, and later in North America. - -### Reaction and reassessment - -By the mid-1970s instruction of the typographic grid as a part of graphic design curricula had become standard in Europe, North America and much of Latin America. The graphic style of the grid was adopted as a look for corporate communication. In the early 1980s, a reaction against the entrenchment of the grid, particularly its dogmatic use, and association with corporate culture, resulted in some designers rejecting its use in favor of more organic structure. - -The appearance of the Apple Macintosh computer, and the resulting transition away from type being set by typographers to designers setting type themselves resulted in a wave of experimentation, much of it contrary to the precepts of Tschichold and Müller-Brockmann. The typographic grid continues to be taught today, but more as a useful tool for some projects, not as a requirement or starting point for all page design. - -While grid systems have seen significant use in print media, interest from web developers has only recently seen a resurgence. Website design frameworks producing HTML and CSS had existed for a while before newer frameworks popularised the use of grid-based layouts. Some grid systems specify fixed-width elements with pixels, and some are ‘fluid’, meaning that they call for page element sizing to be in relative units like percentages, rather than absolute units like pixels or points. diff --git a/pages/07.blog/making-and-breaking-the-grid/photo.jpg b/pages/07.blog/making-and-breaking-the-grid/photo.jpg deleted file mode 100644 index 7aa69daa..00000000 Binary files a/pages/07.blog/making-and-breaking-the-grid/photo.jpg and /dev/null differ diff --git a/pages/07.blog/oops-we-overslept-with-ssl-certificate-renewal/item.md b/pages/07.blog/oops-we-overslept-with-ssl-certificate-renewal/item.md index 849ff8c9..dc24daac 100644 --- a/pages/07.blog/oops-we-overslept-with-ssl-certificate-renewal/item.md +++ b/pages/07.blog/oops-we-overslept-with-ssl-certificate-renewal/item.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- title: 'Oops… We overslept with SSL certificate renewal.' -date: 26/06/2016 +date: 06/26/2016 taxonomy: category: news tag: [disroot, news, ssl] diff --git a/pages/07.blog/review-macbook-air-13-2013/item.md b/pages/07.blog/review-macbook-air-13-2013/item.md deleted file mode 100755 index b79d316d..00000000 --- a/pages/07.blog/review-macbook-air-13-2013/item.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,37 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: Review: MacBook Air 13" 2013 -description: The purty aluminium lines of the MacBook Air. -date: 13:34 08/23/2014 -taxonomy: - category: blog - tag: [apple, macebook air] -body_classes: single single-post ---- - -The Air was designed to balance both performance and portability; it has a full-sized keyboard design and a machined aluminium casing with extremely low weight and thickness. - -The MacBook Air is designed for thinness; it is also lighter than most competing models.

Soon after in 1948, he took a break from studying to gain practical experience and conclude his carpentry apprenticeship. He resumed studies at Wiesbaden School of Art in 1948 and graduated with honours in 1953 after which he began working for Frankfurt based architect Otto Apel. In 1955, he was recruited to Braun as an architect and an interior designer. In addition, in 1961, he became the Chief Design Officer at Braun until 1995. - -![Dieter Rams](dieter_rams.jpg){.size-full .wp-image-2000 .alignright} -Dieter Rams was strongly influenced by the presence of his grandfather, a carpenter. Rams once explained his design approach in the phrase “Weniger, aber besser” which translates as “Less, but better”. Rams and his staff designed many memorable products for Braun including the famous SK-4 record player and the high-quality ‘D’-series (D45, D46) of 35 mm film slide projectors. He is also known for designing the 606 Universal Shelving System by Vitsœ in 1960. - ->“What Dieter Rams and his team at Braun did was to produce hundreds of wonderfully conceived and designed objects: products that were beautifully made in high volumes and that were broadly accessible.” -JONY IVE, APPLE’S SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN - -By producing electronic gadgets that were remarkable in their austere aesthetic and user friendliness, Rams made Braun a household name in the 1950s. He is considered to be one of the most influential industrial designers of the 20th century. - -### Rams’s ten principles of “good design” - -Rams introduced the idea of sustainable development and of obsolescence being a crime in design in the 1970s. Accordingly he asked himself the question: is my design good design? The answer formed his now celebrated ten principles. - -1. **Is innovative** – The possibilities for progression are not, by any means, exhausted. Technological development is always offering new opportunities for original designs. But imaginative design always develops in tandem with improving technology, and can never be an end in itself. -2. **Makes a product useful** – A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy not only functional, but also psychological and aesthetic criteria. Good design emphasizes the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could detract from it. -3. **Is aesthetic** – The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products are used every day and have an effect on people and their well-being. Only well-executed objects can be beautiful. -4. **Makes a product understandable** – It clarifies the product’s structure. Better still, it can make the product clearly express its function by making use of the user’s intuition. At best, it is self-explanatory. -5. **Is unobtrusive** – Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the user’s self-expression. -6. **Is honest** – It does not make a product appear more innovative, powerful or valuable than it really is. It does not attempt to manipulate the consumer with promises that cannot be kept. -7. **Is long-lasting** – It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated. Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years – even in today’s throwaway society. -8. **Is thorough down to the last detail** – Nothing must be arbitrary or left to chance. Care and accuracy in the design process show respect towards the consumer. -9. **Is environmentally friendly** – Design makes an important contribution to the preservation of the environment. It conserves resources and minimizes physical and visual pollution throughout the lifecycle of the product. -10. **Is as little design as possible** – Less, but better – because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity. - -### Legacy - -The appearance of the calculator application included in iOS 3 mimics the appearance of the 1987 Braun ET 66 calculator designed by Rams and Dietrich Lubs, and the appearance of the now playing screen in Apple’s own Podcast app mimics the appearance of the Braun TG 60 reel-to-reel tape recorder. In Gary Hustwit’s 2009 documentary film Objectified, Rams states that Apple Inc. is one of the few companies designing products according to his principles. diff --git a/pages/07.blog/the-stuff-of-dreams-the-legend-of-zelda-wind-waker/item.md b/pages/07.blog/the-stuff-of-dreams-the-legend-of-zelda-wind-waker/item.md deleted file mode 100644 index f9b4fbc9..00000000 --- a/pages/07.blog/the-stuff-of-dreams-the-legend-of-zelda-wind-waker/item.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,14 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: The stuff of dreams: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker -date: 14:55 03/11/2014 -taxonomy: - category: blog - tag: [music, bach] -body_classes: single single-post -type: audio ---- - - -The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, released in Japan as ゼルダの伝説 風のタクト, is an action-adventure game and the tenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series.
