Creating a Design System Language
But how exactly can a product benefit from having a living, breathing design language? I’m going to try break down the very basics so you can understand why it’s needed.
Sensational Ceiling | This Old House
The most popular of these materials is a type of wood board paneling known as either beadboard or plank paneling. It's commonly used as wainscoting on walls and for the backs of Colonial-style cupboards and bookcases. These tongue-and-groove pine boards are about 5/16 in. thick x 3 1/2 in. wide and have a rounded bead milled along one edge and a second bead routed down the center. When the boards are installed, each appears to be two narrower ones. Most well-stocked lumberyards and home centers carry beadboard in 8-ft. lengths individually or in bundles. Expect to pay about $1 to $1.50 per square foot.
A Space For Thought | Not this...
Treat your thoughts as suggestions from a much loved friend.
But a friend who you know is vain, insecure, and untrustworthy.

What you should know before cleaning your typewriter.
I'm an ex Typewriter Repairman with about 33 years experience. I hang out at this forum quite often. I am amazed at the mistakes some of you newbies make. I decided to TRY to educate you. First of all, don't use alcohol in a typewriter. Alcohol will NOT clean gunk and grime out of a typewriter. There are 2 types of alcohol available. The type you get at the drug store and the industrial grade you get at a paint store. The drug store brands have water in them. I don't care what grade you use, it still has water in it.Why would you put water into something that can rust? They can also turn to mud at temperatures around freezing. The industrial strength alcohol has keytones and acetones mixed into it that are not strong enough to dissolve grime, but will melt plastic and remove paint. I might also add that if alcohol actually worked, all the typewriter shops I ever worked in would have used it instead of Varsol or Naphtha. Much cheaper. So what do you use?
Austin Kleon — Roger Ebert’s sketchbook and thoughts on drawing...
It seems to me Annette said something like this: Begin with a proper sketch book. Draw in ink. Finish each drawing you begin, and keep every drawing you finish. No erasing, no ripping out a page, no covering a page with angry scribbles. What you draw is an invaluable and unique representation of how you saw at that moment in that place according to your abilities. That’s all we want. We already know what a dog really looks like.
