Words & Letters
It’s been a busy month. I can’t keep track of everything. In fact, I’m not even trying to. I focus on the task in front of me. Everything else is unimportant. This is not exactly a zen approach. It’s a method of survival. The link show must go on, that’s the task right now. Data […]
I’ve been publishing these posts in various formats, on multiple platforms, and with different models (I won’t dare say business) for over eight years. The first post was technically on May 15th, 2016. It was a humble beginning. I promptly forgot to post again until October, 28th, 2016. I was still creating the content for […]
I work with human beings. It’s a messy business. I’ve learned a lot but I’m far from perfect. I attempt to treat people equally, with care, and consideration. I fail often. I try to own my mistakes and improve. I still have a lot to learn but the effort is worthwhile. My sincerity in helping […]
Is it possible to run out of words? I’ve heard of writer’s block and hitting a creative wall. Words are not my first medium of choice. I’m trying to be more consistent. I’m trying to write more frequently. Keep plugging away–that’s the way forward. So we go ahead with another week of the links, enjoy! […]
I was lucky enough to attend Config (the Figma design conference) last week and this week is the 4th of July. Work is getting done… somehow. The machine never stops.

This week’s list is a little short. I apologize. This last week caught me off guard and Config snuck up on me too.

Ten links in the usual, wide variety of subjects. I’m tired (writing this the night before). It’s been a long day, so I’m going to cut it short right now. Next week is Config!

I just read that one of my favorite sources is shutting down. It was a daily newsletter that focused on web design but always had creative surprises and rarely missed a day. There’s no point in calling it out (until, or if, they relaunch) but I understand why. This work, or is it a hobby […]
I make my share of mistakes. It’s endless–to be honest. It happens daily and I do try not to. They are often painful and unpleasant. Of course, I try and learn from them. That itself is error-prone and not without its share of blunders. I’m not going to give you a cliche story about how […]
Sometimes the power goes out. We are spoiled here in the US. This happens rarely and it almost always back on in minutes. We do freak out as if the world is ending. We act the same way if the internet or Instagram (pick your social of choice) is down. What we expect is now […]
