Hello.Bonjour.Merhaba.Hello.
I'm Oz, a designer of things...
This is my signal space for a noisy mind
I write about the overlooked, the contradictory, and the quietly absurd.
In 1959 an East German army club painted over the third stripe on its Adidas boots rather than admit the socialist state made worse footwear. Sixty-seven years later, UEFA pays its top-ranked club thirty-six times what it pays its bottom one, by statute. A look at what concentrates the game.
Nine in ten writers want to be paid when their books train a model. One in eight already uses one. The last American slide rule was made in 1976 and handed to a museum, and the engineers who swore by it bought calculators anyway. Refusal and adoption have always shared a desk.
A complaint arrived through the contact form of blogroll.blog about the wrong flag on a listed blog. The flag was drawn by a standard, the standard follows the United Nations, and the United Nations inherited a fight from 1971. There is no neutral country list. The dropdown has already chosen.
I build minimal tools and run small experiments.
Preview a LUT or Lightroom preset on an image in the browser. Tweak light, colour and effects, compare before and after, pull the colour scheme, export PNG or .cube. Nothing is uploaded.
A lightweight macOS menu-bar app that shows the track playing in TIDAL. Free, open source, macOS 13+.
Turn flight details into a timezone-safe calendar event. Enter airport codes and times, download an .ics anchored to the departure zone.
I make spoofs of pop culture, catch life being itself, mix palettes by feel, and cross mediums freely.
I too could do without cookie banners, but GDPR and Quebec's Law 25 want one, so here it is. Analytics only.
