Words & Letters
For me, the most random posts are the best. You get a mix of everything–no clear hierarchy. Just creative juices flowing like a ripe peach. It’s a mess, but it’s wonderful.

Despite what the Matrix tried to say, déjà vu is not a glitch. It does come from the French, and as Americans, we’ve wholeheartedly adopted the word. Oftentimes, it’s confused with coincidence but they are not the same. I recently watched a comedy special on Netflix and the opening music was a track from They […]
The changes keep coming. We’ve got a sponsor this week. If you need a modern, no-code, web builder check out Readymag. I’ve also added a few design jobs (at the end) along with the usual pretty things to look at. Change is the only constant. It’s an overused saying, but it’s true. This week’s post […]
Most of these posts follow a pattern. There’s a bunch of links from one discipline, maybe two, and then a random collection from others. This week that pattern is gone.

OK, with that as your baseline, let’s look at some smart ideas, pretty stuff, and more positive creative […]
Spring is almost here and it can’t come soon enough for me. I’m ready for the sun–and over the rain. Growing up as a skateboarder on the wet East Coast, I developed a hatred of rain. Rain meant that I couldn’t be outside rolling around. Computers and video games were my outlet in the case […]
Is it Tuesday already? I don’t know what happened in the last 7 days, but here we go again. Lots of visuals this week–less reading. That’s where I’m at too.
