We spent a week in Billund, Denmark. The home of LEGO. LEGO fans know that Billund has a special place. Not only is it the hometown of LEGO, but it also has the famous LEGO House (a museum + experience center), LEGOLAND (the theme park), and other family attractions such as| Fatih Arslan
The Hyper case is my latest design project. It's a custom-made case for the Halcyon Elora Split keyboard made by the company splitkb.com. I already published it on my website under the "Design & Works" page. But subscribers don't get a notification of| Fatih Arslan
After designing a few gadget-related projects, I decided to take on a new challenge: designing a lighting from scratch. Lighting is an area of fascination for me. I have an ongoing draft post about the various designer lamps in my home that I plan to publish soon. In the meantime,| Fatih Arslan

I changed my website’s design. I'm using the previous design since September 30, 2022 (when I moved to Ghost from Cloudflare Pages). The previous design served me well for the past two years, but it was time for a change. Firstly, I wanted to create a| Fatih Arslan

Last week, when I had to increase my screen's brightness, I figured I was using a pitch-black terminal screen. So, I asked myself, 'what if I use a light theme during the day and switch back to a darker theme later in the evening?'| Fatih Arslan
When Fujifilm announced the Fujifilm X half, the internet was literally divided into two halves. Some people were disappointed that it offered limited features for its high price, while others were delighted and found it intriguing. In fact, some even predicted that the X half would sell out quickly.| Fatih Arslan
Four years ago, I wrote a blog post explaining how I set up automatic dark mode for my terminal apps. Back then, it needed some workarounds— Fish scripts, AppleScript installation, and other tricks to make everything sync together. I can't say it was easy. The scripts were simple, but there| Fatih Arslan
Three years ago, while searching for Vitsoe setups, I stumbled upon Barbican. I delved deeper and discovered a building complex that that was beyond my imaginations. Young Fatih would definitely find it ugly; current me finds it beautiful. The estate was built between 1965 and 1976. And, since I first| Fatih Arslan
I thought lately about what has changed in my life over the years. People change (even if they don't admit it). And there are always some sort of triggers that cause these changes. Some people start a habit of running, maybe; some start hanging out with friends who| Fatih Arslan

The Braun+Design Börse is an annual event and fair focusing on Braun products. Braun might not be the design icon it was 40 years ago, but starting in 1955, it profoundly impacted the design world, starting with its cooperation with the Ulm School of Design. With Dieter Rams as| Fatih Arslan
