I’ve been trying to get on a more regular schedule. I say trying because it’s not happening with any level of success. Change is hard. It’s even harder when it’s built upon years of habit. I’ve read most of the famous books about habits, and I understand the principles. I heard recently that habits are […]
It’s long overdue, but my other side project, Tails Of…, just released our sixth book (it’s #5, since we started with #0), Tails Of… Photographers. Legendary photographer Dave Swift leads this issue. Tails Of is a print magazine about art and skateboarding. Each issue has a theme, and we build the content around that concept. […]

Enjoy. Web Design/UX/UI “Product Kondo”: A Guide To Evaluating Your Organizational Product PortfolioIt starts with good […]
I get to this place at the end of every month. I’m continually surprised that the month is almost over. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get X, Y, or Z done. In the greater scheme of things, it doesn’t matter too much. No one is living or dying by these link posts–I hope not. I’ve […]
If this week has a theme, it’s technology. Maybe every week is about technology. Anyway, let’s not get into that–let’s just look at the pretty, thoughtful, and wonderful links.

It’s tax day in the US. There’s a lot of stress around this event. I have to go to the post office and mail everything off. It’s bound to be a shit show. Why did I wait? I was told (and I haven’t verified this in any way) that you are less likely to get […]
