Spring is here, it’s getting warmer, and there’s no end to the list of projects. This is 100% a problem of my own making. I’m OK with it, but it does sneak up on me at times. I’ll get a handle on it soon, I swear. For now–let’s tackle an easy one, more fun links […]
Given all of the AI hysteria, let’s go back to the classics, Jurassic Park (1993). In case you don’t recall, let me set the scene. Ian Malcolm, the chaos theorist and moral center of the movie, is giving the creator (AKA billionaire with big dreams) a reality check after seeing the scale of the DNA […]
I can’t even right now. I’ve been on tech support for almost two hours. They can’t explain what the problem was–it just became resolved. That’s until it happens again. I’ll stop… enjoy the links.

Where to begin this week? March is one-third over. I still haven’t written that 2024 books post that I’ve been meaning to get done. I’m going to stop right now and get back to work. Enjoy the links.

While building this post, I made so many dumb mistakes. I’ve made them before. I know where the speed bumps are. But still, I hit every one of them today. I could be tired. I might be distracted, trying to go too fast, or maybe it’s something else entirely. Too much on my plate? Nothing […]
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 […]
