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. […]

Weekly Design Links – 10/22/24

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Weekly Design Links – 07/30/24

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 […]
