Welcome to 2025. It’s a lot like 2024 so far. The main difference is that you must remember to put a five at the end of the date. The links are new, the layout got a little refresh, and that’s about it. There’s nothing new to promote aside from the amazing work below by other […]
One last batch before the year ends. Since I took last week off, this one is chock full. Hopefully, you are doing something fun on New Year’s Eve, and you find these links later in the week. If you are looking for even more, I quietly dropped another Phase post last week. See you all […]
We’re at the tail end of 2024, and we’re supposed to reflect on the past 365 days. We’re supposed to learn shit and evolve as humans, right? I’ve learned things, sure. Have I applied those learnings to my actual life? That’s debatable. I’ve come to an understanding that I delay things–a lot. I’ve been playing […]
We’re winding down and with the chaos I’ve got a short and sweet set of links this week. Next week should be better–gotta end strong. Advertsing “It still blows my mind just how small the sculptures were”: How we Made Samsung’s Micro MiraclesWe go behind the scenes with ManvsMachine on this Brand Impact Award-winning film. […]
I didn’t think I’d have time today to get this done. Work, side projects, and life in general have been draining my energy from the link show. Whether it’s pure habit or the combination of habit and systems I’ve put in place—somehow, it got done. Enjoy the links. Here’s hoping next week is calmer. Architecture […]
The fact that it’s December feels like we’re at the end of something–a big milestone that we call a year. I put pressure on myself to get things done. It’s fabricated. There are no implications if I don’t post this. If I don’t create another Phase post (I did this last night–better late than never). […]
Three is the magic number, yes it is. I’m still finding my way with this little project. It’s hard to come up with something monthly to put in here–something that’s coherent. I can’t promise this edition is. That’s OK. Not everything has to make sense. The world doesn’t, why should we hold our efforts to […]
Black Friday week is upon us. Wasn’t it just one day before? The deals keep coming, and there is nothing that can stop it. It doesn’t matter if you give in and buy–the deals keep coming. As smart as the algorithms are, they still can’t seem to understand that their powers may have already completed […]
Since my last post, so much has happened. I gave my first design talk, ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ (view the recording, thanks to SDXD), and then I gave it again the following day at UCSD’s design career event. There was a bunch of work stuff, and then I flew to where […]
No time for words right now. Today, I’ll be giving my first design presentation. It’s called ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ and it’s all about the horrible mistakes I see, over and over, in job applications. It’s not intended to blame–I’ve made most of these errors myself. I’m trying to help in […]
