sounds exactly the type of program they run there: installation/physical projects beyond websites

I personally know some of the staff and the students that get out, and they are

I think that this is the point here really. Im not as mad on the aesthetic itself as much on what we are making the fuss out if it.

While I agree, calling it brutalism is a disservice both to this aesthetic and to the original movement, this insane reaction on what is an interesting language.

A few that I look at are :

And lets see, hopefully pttrns becomes worth with better search, more updates and a better diversity of real-life products.

Great progress and great to see you reflecting in your journey. Keep up the good work and don't tilt the screenshots!

Not that you asked, but It would help you a lot to be more concrete on the goals and your vision of 2017. In that way you can keep track on what you want to achieve and take deliberate steps there.

Again, keep it up!

This one is great, specially coupled with his book Exposing the magic of design.

If you feel that you need to have more advanced courses, I'd strongly encourage you to try to find more practice-based programs, challenges or contests. The hard things about UX are not as much as the fundamentals as much as how to apply and how to navigate a project.

Another thing to think about is to learn laterally – typically courses within design research, industrial design cover topics applicable for UX, tho indirectly and often outdated.

THAT SAID, these are the ones I liked:

I particularly like these ones

Soon Ill go thru a Ideou program, that even though are expensive as hell they seem nice on the outside.

Cheers and have fun!

Is it me, or is his discourse very trumpian?

Khoi:

"I’ll be more direct: there’s a sense that generally your critiques are focused on negativity and pejorative evaluations and less on substance."

Eli:

"It’s true, some people don’t have the stomach for my style."

"Be glad I use the language I do."

All in all its a good piece. Khoi did a great job to mediate opinions voiced around the community as well as reinforce the discussion around the subject of critique and it's packaging.

Eli did show what he wants to accomplish and what his goals are. For me, looks like he uses the appearance of substance, inflammatory subversion and golden-ageism as a philosophical elevated debate.

Again, judgment =! criticism =! critique

Edit: Typos

have fun, be on your feet, make it about the team ideas more than your own.

Good luck!

being a guy that now lives here, Im always surprised how seriously the state and people around take this issue. Its amazing to see that coming up – even tho if its not always great.

Compared to other countries I lived in, Sweden also has one of the simplest, friendliest and easy-to-understand migration processes ever. Since I moved here ( late 12 ) they did MAJOR udpates their migration website and service 2-3 times. Check out on http://www.migrationsverket.se/ and prepare to be amazed. Only GOV.uk seems to keep up with the high-end state service design stuff.

And, again, guys like this are very welcoming and friendly http://soderhavet.com/uppdrag/sverige/.
