Luna's Digest 9
I can't find the origin of this photo, which I think is absolutely magnificent.
I've been doing a lot of reading about CSS this week, so apart from some old things I've found in the back of my inbox (inbox zero, at last!), the theme of this 9th digest is a no-brainer!
I'm playing around with Flexbox at the moment and I'm having a lot of fun, so I'll probably be spamming a few more links on the subject in future digests... And I'm keen to hear about any cool resources on the subject :)
When UX doesn't consider ALL users, shouldn't it be known as "SOME User Experience" or... SUX?

Wrong Century, by Tomas Kucerovsky
Red Dwarf patterns, by Helen Green
She's the one who made The David Bowie animated illustration that flooded Twitter a few weeks ago.
If you're not familiar with Red Dwarf, I really recommend you take a look at it, it's a little gem of British humour, absurd as can be. Maybe I'll write a review one of these days.
