Alt Text as Poetry
Alt text is an essential part of web accessibility. It is often disregarded altogether or understood through the lens of compliance, as an unwelcome burden to be met with minimum effort. How can we instead approach alt text thoughtfully and creatively?

Saw アーバンクラシック on a signboard and thought ‘avant classical’. Turned out it’s ‘urban classic’.

Someone says Suntory's Craft Boss ‘Hong Kong-style milk tea’ tastes like ultra-mild milk tea poured into an unwashed coffee cup. Spot on. Also, if you read the fine print you'll see it's actually Yuenyeung (coffee + milk tea), which many people mix up with HK-style milk tea […]

Chindogu found in Shenzhen. Put your phone on the upper left corner of the table and pedal to charge. The thing is you have to pedal really hard as if you are on an exercise bike.

Hong Kong is not China, so what is it? One way to look at it is Qing Dynasty + Britain (I think the credit goes to Jia Zhangke and Ah Cheng). Well, here's a quaint punctuation mark on HK taxi: the colon dash (:—), ‘a mark that indicates a list, the contents […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Debussy on Wagner: ‘Having been an impassioned visitor to Bayreuth for several years, I began to doubt the Wagnerian formula—or, rather, it seemed to me it fitted only the particular genius of that composer, who was a great collector of clichés that he summed up in a formula which seemed unusual […]

Magic Leap hired Neal Stephenson, Apple hired Jimmy Iovine, now OpenAI is going to hire Rick Rubin. Tech companies seem to take the phrase ‘acquired taste’ literally and believe taste can be acquired. They fail to understand that it can only be acquired with time, not money. That's why LLM is […]

Everything good and peculiar about Japanese culture is represented in this sheet of paper: (Over-)packaging. The transcendence of the mundane. Parodism. The proclivity for textual explanation and ‘annai’. Ambiguity. The tendency to flood every little space with information. (There's a spot the […]

I guess I’m far from the only one to have mistaken Shang Shang Typhoon for an Okinawan band. None of the members is from Okinawa—a fact I actually learnt from this very book.

This toilet in some of Japanese trains brings together the genius and absurdity in terms of affordance in one design: The door doesn’t have a lock because it doesn’t need one. On the other hand, who can hold the handle while taking a leak?
