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 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.

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 […]
These posts follow a simple formula. But, each week delivers different results and I don’t plan themes or focus areas.

I obviously don’t share […]

I listen to a lot of podcasts. It’s a wide mix of content (you might guess as much from what I post here). I enjoy the medium and I love the range of formats and structures. From the quick newsy shows to the long-form interviews, deep investigations into a topic, and everything in between–I consume […]
Video games have been a big influence in my life. From early 8-bit, through the dawn of 3D, and into the current day–it’s all creative, designed to every detail (when it’s great), and built for fun. I played my share of racing games, but this was never my favorite genre. Still, this week’s links have […]
It’s officially Spring now. The time change has happened. It’s getting warmer (some days). I’m trying to roll with it. This week is another small batch of hand-selected links for you all. Enjoy.
