New is exciting and fun. When you are on the path to newness, every bump, turn, u-turn, and pit stop is an adventure. After it’s not new anymore, it’s repetitive and boring. It’s much harder to get going on the second attempt. Every drop counts… I know. The autocorrect series begins… Books that I’m currently […]
How do you gauge if you are doing what you set out to do? Goals, plans, milestones… Some people say these are all a fool’s errand–wild guesses in an attempt to tame the chaos. I don’t have a clue. I try to keep knocking things off the list. The list never gets done. I’m OK […]
It didn’t happen in September as planned, but my new project, Skate Book Club is live. If you missed the first issue, check it out here. Each month, we’ll bring you some of the best books we’ve found (or unearthed) in the skateboarding community. A huge thanks to my collaborator, Natalie Porter who helped me […]
I am still working on the newsletter–and six other side projects. Also, if you are in San Diego, I’m hiring a product designer. There’s a lot of balls in the air these days. A few months back, I thought that by October, I’d have a little more clarity on everything. Was that a foolish dream? […]
Well, October is here, and some things didn’t get done. My new little monthly project is live – Phase.001. But the Skate Book Club isn’t quite there yet (any day now). It will happen, all in due time. This post isn’t about all that. We’re here for the links… Web Design/UX/UI The Psychology Behind McDonald’s […]
Phase.001 is live. My other new project is getting there. The links continue… Photography The DisciplesSeries of 56 photo montages of music fans outside concerts Web Design/UX The over-confetti-ing of digital experiencesHave we gone too far, and how do we make surprise & delight moments special again?

Trying to explain something new is never easy. It’s even harder when you don’t know where it’s headed. When I was young, I discovered zines. It changed my life. It connected me with people, places, ideas, music, art, and culture that I would have never discovered in my small-town world. I have friends of 30 […]
There are a few new things coming from yours truly. That is a strange phase–but we’ll get into that another time. Starting this week (still not sure when) I’ll be posting the first issue of ‘Phase’. It’s a monthly thing, more personal than this, and an attempt to get back to a more zine-like publishing […]
The link show continues. And, along with the weekly gems, I’ve got a new, more personal, monthly joining the fray. It’s called ‘Phase’ because aren’t we all going through a phase? I had an RPG game phase, a bucket hat phase, and a long hair phase. Facts, but nothing lasted forever. Maybe this new project […]
A short week, while appreciated, always throws the week into some chaos. This week, I’ve got just seven links. I’m going to say these are all quality over quantity. Let’s leave it at that, enjoy!
