I may take next week off. I’m not sure that I will, but I feel the need for a break coming. In the meantime–this week’s links are pretty dang good.

Humans are strangely affected by numbers, patterns, chords, and repetition. We gravitate towards them like moths to a light. We can’t look away. We seek them out in chaos. We constantly try to bring some logic to the thousands of data points in our vision. We want things to make sense, to see the system […]
Time continues to sneak up on me. I have a personal deadline in 15 days. I’ve thought a lot about what I intend to make, but reality is coming at me fast. Procrastination is there. Other responsibilities take priority. Excuses are many. I’ve got to get my ass in gear–wish me luck. Web Design/UX/UI The […]
Juggling isn’t a game. It has elements and a history of performance and dates back to 2000 B.C. according the the internet. We’re all juggling a lot these days. I’m really good at tossing the balls into the air–catching them is another story. I need more practice. As you can probably surmise from this series […]

We talk about design, skateboarding, and some random related topics. Hopefully, you all find it interesting. Web Design/UX/UI Zero UI: Redefining the […]
Some days bring you a reality that is hard to shake. Paul Rubens (AKA Pee Wee Herman), Angus Cloud, and Sinéad O’Connor are the most recent examples of creative people who have left their mark and we are left trying to make sense of the loss. I grew up watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I don’t […]
Last week was the 4th of July, so I took the week off. The rest of the country had off, so why not me too? I took last Monday off as well, finally using an actual vacation day. The short weeks always throw me off and I’m paying the price this week. I’ve got a […]
Pour one out for June. 2023 is almost half over. I just got back from the Figma conference, Config. Good stuff overall, and my first big event post-pandemic. I went to a conference in the Fall, but it was a fraction of the size and folks were masked almost universally. We can’t control change. We […]
