Simplicity

Simplicity can be many things: Pure, clear, easy, plain, beautiful, restrained. But making things simple is actually very complicated. As Leonardo da Vinci said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

About
di4ent is an experiment. It's a collection of topical rotating wunderkammeresque distractions and delights. In other words, every month I'll choose four topics that I'd like to learn more about, or that I already find interesting and want to explore. Every weekday there will be a new post in each of the four topics. I decided to start it to give form and aim to my endless online wanderings. Plus I just like creating work for myself. So, I guess it's an online experiment in learning, linking, research and wasting time.
