When I take a week off, like anything, it’s a bit of a relief. I still consume content. I’m still saving links. The other thing that I’ve been spending time on is process. I need to make these posts easier to create. It’s not the post itself; it’s the multiple versions. WordPress is easy enough, […]
My index finger on my dominant hand is out of commission. The machine doesn’t stop for a finger. Photography In Focus: Women Shaping Visual Storytelling Photographers framing life, culture, and the in-between Architecture Ten items from the Zaha Hadid archives that capture her talent and idiosyncrasies Today marks 10 years since the death of one […]
It’s been a busy few weeks. I’m getting through it. That’s what we do, right? Plug away, iterate, fail, try again, get closer, go way off course, realign, discover something, break it, start over, get to a solution that you can live with, start again, find a nugget that you love, iterate some more, and […]
The time change is upon us, more light in the evenings–which I like. It’s been a grind, and I’ll take a little extra sun in whatever way I can get it. I’m still working on my game, with the help of Claude. I’m at the point now where it’s in app testing. If you have […]
For the first time in a long time, I wrote a short thing about my own work–Teaching Computers to Draw.

While the world continues to spiral, I’m trying to focus on making things. We can’t control it all, so what I can do is make nice things, highlight great work, and hug those that I love. I implemented a new feature on my blog with the help of Cursor and Claude Code. If you want […]
I’ve read all the books about habits. I have some bad ones, and I have some habits that are beneficial. I know the cycle: cue, routine, reward. I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. That doesn’t mean I don’t have goals, improvements, or new projects. So many projects–not enough time. Another habit of mine–starting projects. This […]
I don’t know if I’ll publish next week. I’m leaning towards, yes. We’ll see how I feel next week. No promises. I’m not a huge fan of looking back. I do know that we should take stock on occasion, and I’m feeling good about the year ahead. There’s a lot of work to do. That’s […]
I’ve been trying to take things as they come. It’s hard when things are moving really fast to take a moment and feel it. When I look at the date, I see how much has changed from 1/1/25 to now. At the same time, nothing has changed–yet. It’s coming, time to get on the roller […]
Running a little behind schedule today. This is par for the course in November–I’m getting there. Graphic Design/Illustration I was convinced this was traditional Japanese artwork… until I saw Brendan FraserRental Family’s new posters are a creative masterpiece Typography Fran Sans…a display font in every sense of the term. It’s an interpretation of the destination […]
