Words & Letters
It’s been a busy month but somehow, someway I’ve managed to do some of what I planned to do. I’ve still got another phase post to create. I need to write my 2024 book reading recap. The February issue of the Skate Book Club newsletter needs to happen. And, last and most important, Tails Of… […]
Theres a lot of bad things happening in the world, in the US, and in cities nearby. I try to celebrate the good things: beauty, innovation, and joy of craft in these weekly link collections. It’s hard to ignore the chaos outside. We all compartmentalize things to survive–it’s a survival tactic, however flawed. The link […]
Time flies. Days turn into weeks, into months, into years, and it’s easy to lose track of it all. I’ve been at this design game for a long time now. From my production designer days to managing teams and everything in between–I still find it interesting (which is good). That’s not to say each job […]
I can’t believe the month is two-thirds over. The new year just started–where did these weeks go? I’ve been pulling (or reposting) all of my Medium content over to this site. It’s tedious but kind of fun to look back on my past efforts. I’m not grabbing every week’s link posts, just the more crafted […]
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. […]
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). […]
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 […]
