Pixel Perfect Picks #110 - TCG, News, Fred on Rooftops

Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.

Saw Something

Okay guys, I think it's time to confess something… I have a little hobby that's been with me since childhood and that I've recently started doing again: Pokémon — specifically the card game. Last weekend I was at the Regional Championships in Frankfurt and had a lot of fun. I didn't get a great result, but I gained a ton of experience and enjoyment! And I really have to say: I couldn't believe how big the whole thing is.

Read Something

If I had to pick one thing AI is really good at, it would be summarizing information. Last week I came across the Minimalist Newsreader, which aggregates and summarizes various news sources. So if you want to spend very little time reading the news but still stay informed, here you go. But please do a double check on the quality.

Heard Something

Fred did it again... there's a new rooftop set that was created right after one of the concerts in Italy. I don't really need to say anything else... Happy Monday!

About Marvin Messenzehl

I love working in the realm between design and code. Some things that make me excited are CSS, Interaction design, Javascript, and making interfaces feel fun and human.
