Interesting finds, Oct 2, 2023

Things I stumbled upon on the internet last week. I've been into guides and manifestos lately, so here's a few I loved.

King of the Hill Animation Style Guide A detailed best practices for animators of the show. A fascinating peek into all the work that goes into animating a classic tv show.

The Website Obesity Crisis I can never get enough manifestos against what I like to call "flash and trash" web design.

Taco Bell Programming Interesting and succinct philosophy.
