Words & Letters
Welcome to 2024. Everything is new. Everything is the same. Usually, at this time of year, I’d switch things up. Reformat the posts, change the intro structure, or add/remove some element(s). Not in 2024, nope, it’s not going down that way this year. At least, not right now. I can’t say what will happen tomorrow, […]
Totally random but here is an unordered list of the shows & movies that I’ve been enjoying lately.

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 […]

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 all make the time for the things that matter. Whether it’s the new iPhone or some pretty visual content, if it makes your life better we will find the […]
It’s been a long day and I’m fresh out of words. I said a whole bunch of words on the Mix & Matchbox podcast last week. I just realized that an entire section of this post didn’t save and I have to rebuild it. Enough words–let me fix that and get some sleep. Art HuntzLayered […]
