Weekly Design Links – 10/29/24

A busy, busy little October. I’ve been getting shit done, executing new projects, and maintaining the usual stuff (these posts). Phase issue 2 is live. I’m doing a talk in a few weeks with SDXD in San Diego. It’s called ‘How NOT To Apply For a Design Job’. It looks like it’s sold out already–damn. […]

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? […]

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 […]

Weekly Design Links – 09/10/24

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!

Summer is winding down. It’s been a hot one, so I’m looking forward to cooler temperatures. Fall, sweatshirt weather, and everything that comes with it have always been a favorite of mine. I live in California, so the seasons aren’t always so apparent. Enjoy another random batch of links! See you in September. 3D/Animation Watch […]

I just learned about the concept of akrasia. I’ve read about it before, but somehow it didn’t hit me then. I honestly don’t remember reading about it. I know it’s part of ‘Atomic Habits’ by James Clear. The concept: The state of acting against your better judgment–when you do one thing even though you know […]

I used to start each of these posts with a quote. Or did I end with a quote? I can’t recall. It really doesn’t matter in the slightest. Instead, I’ll leave you with this lovely Kurt Vonnegut story from an interview, or maybe from Timequake. “I work at home, and if I wanted to, I […]
