We explore whether AI’s speed is liberating us for strategy or simply triggering a Jevons Paradox that demands more output, drawing on Daniel Ruston’s warning about the shift from maker to orchestrator and Caitlin Steele’s call for building “defensible space” against constant crises. By examining community debates on original craft versus automation and the tension between thematic aesthetics and functional readability, we question what truly matters when execution becomes nearly instant.From The

Last year at the big Walnut Springs Rally we had a blast! Some more than others, as we find out from security footage of Bobbo's midnight shenanigans. Let's go through the motions of making sure you still have everything after a blackout and we can worry about replacing the whiskey later. We even get a play by play of Bobbo's bar table balancing act!Thanks for joining us for this week's #JCWPodcast #JCWArchive.

Marwan recaps a packed Wednesday, September 30th, 2026, breaking down the ongoing electronic Hajj registration process across the Sultanate. We also cover the Consumer Protection Authority completing major inspections on school supply safety as the academic month wraps up, international maritime updates regarding Omani shipping corridors in the Strait of Hormuz, and local weather forecasts.

Episode #002: The Modernist Society I visited The Modernist Society's website, a site that asks you to join something rather than buy something, and then hands you five things to do before you've worked out who they are. Get past the homepage and the about page calms right down and tells the story properly. It names the people who started it, thanks its funders in public and lets someone else's quote describe the magazine better than the site could itself. I spotted a small contradiction abou...

In which the two quarrelsome brothers, Hans and Schwartz, set off with a flask of holy water on a perilous journey to seek the source of the Golden River, battling natural hardships and their own exhaustion along the way. Amidst dazzling mountains and eerie glaciers, Hans’s cruel disregard for suffering leaves a shadow upon the serene alpine morning, foreshadowing a dreadful conclusion to his endeavour.

We’re building AI systems faster than we can define who’s responsible when they fail, creating a dangerous gap where everyone feels they’re doing their job but no one owns the outcome. Jeff Gothelf argues we must name a specific accountable human before automating decisions, while Pavel Samsonov warns that we’re inverting design by seeking solutions before defining problems. This tension is mirrored in the community, where we’re seeing hollow AI-generated conference talks and designers scrambling to

What really happens between ordering furniture and installation day? Part II of "On the Move: The Art of Installation, Receiving to Reveal" hosts Kelly Caudelle and producer Kai, pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked parts of interior design projects: receiving. Before a single sofa is placed or artwork is hung, every item must be received, inspected, cataloged, and carefully stored. It’s a process that can determine whether installation day feels effortless, or chaotic. D...

In today's FittBite, we break down whether polyester is actually bad for you, and where the truth sits between the hero and the villain story you see online. This FittBite covers why around 59% of apparel items are polyester and cotton sits at 17%, why gym clothing depends on moisture wicking, why polyester holds on to odor even after washing, the microplastics released in a 6 kg wash, how cold water and fewer washes help, and why not all polyester is created equal. Tune in to learn how to we...

Have you been saving that perfect fabric for the "right" project… for years? 👀 Friend, this one's for you.On this episode of Loose Threads & Stitches, we're talking about a rare kind of quilt: the one you make for nobody but yourself. It's not a gift, not a commission, not a guild swap. It exists because YOU wanted it to exist. I'm sharing the story of the Tula Pink collection I saved for way too long, what I realized I was really waiting for, and 5 reasons a quilt made just for you might be

By 2035, banking may no longer be something customers actively use. It may increasingly operate around them — intelligently, predictively and autonomously. This episode explores how artificial intelligence could fundamentally reshape financial UX over the next decade. As banking moves beyond screen-based interfaces toward autonomous financial systems, the role of design will shift from creating interactions to governing trust, permissions, transparency and control. We dive into what this me...

In today’s episode, we’re talking about QCAA’s decision to cancel a travel agency licence, a creator’s viral reaction to everyday safety in Qatar, a Friday dining experience at Sheraton Grand Doha, and former Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong embracing Islam in Doha.

We ask who is responsible when the tools we rely on to store our work disappear, noting that a quarter of web pages from the last decade have already vanished. Dora Czerna argues that this loss forces us to take ownership of our data, while Fabricio Teixeira challenges the notion that static deliverables are the final product. We also examine a designer’s controversial shortcut of skipping manual ideation to use AI-generated drafts as a starting point, and a plea for resources to bridge the empathy

n this episode, we sit down with researcher Bader Al Sarraf to talk about Oman’s economic diversification, the opportunities emerging for young Omanis, the country’s strategic position in global trade, and where the economy could be heading over the next decade.

In which the parched Treasure Valley becomes barren under the neglect of the cruel West Winds, compelling the three brothers to abandon their ancestral land and take up a failing trade in goldsmithing, while young Gluck is left to tend a precious, enchanted mug that sings and speaks to him. A strange and wondrous visitor—the King of the Golden River—appears from the melted gold, revealing a curious and mysterious promise about holy water and the golden stream, before vanishing in a blaze of

CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — Washington DC 2026Alexander Htet Kyaw · MITRecent advances in 3D generative AI make it possible to create object geometries directly from natural language, but turning these digital forms into functional physical objects remains a major challenge. Most generated 3D models are meshes that do not contain the component level, structural, material, and assembly information required for robotic fabrication. This presentation introduces a research pipeline that
