Words & Letters
I just read that one of my favorite sources is shutting down. It was a daily newsletter that focused on web design but always had creative surprises and rarely missed a day. There’s no point in calling it out (until, or if, they relaunch) but I understand why. This work, or is it a hobby […]
I make my share of mistakes. It’s endless–to be honest. It happens daily and I do try not to. They are often painful and unpleasant. Of course, I try and learn from them. That itself is error-prone and not without its share of blunders. I’m not going to give you a cliche story about how […]
These posts follow a simple formula. But, each week delivers different results and I don’t plan themes or focus areas. I take in what comes from suggestions (yes, I’m open to suggestions–thanks Don for sharing the great animation), my collected sources that I still read via RSS, email newsletters, and friends. I obviously don’t share […]
I’m running on 5 hours of sleep. It’s been a long day. I don’t have much left in the tank for typing words. I’ll leave you all with the usual barrage of links.

I listen to a lot of podcasts. It’s a wide mix of content (you might guess as much from what I post here). I enjoy the medium and I love the range of formats and structures. From the quick newsy shows to the long-form interviews, deep investigations into a topic, and everything in between–I consume […]
Video games have been a big influence in my life. From early 8-bit, through the dawn of 3D, and into the current day–it’s all creative, designed to every detail (when it’s great), and built for fun. I played my share of racing games, but this was never my favorite genre. Still, this week’s links have […]
It’s officially Spring now. The time change has happened. It’s getting warmer (some days). I’m trying to roll with it. This week is another small batch of hand-selected links for you all. Enjoy.

I often debate the decision to post these on Tuesdays. We all know about Mondays–they shock the system. Monday night, when I put these together is not always ideal. I’m often tired and motivation is fleeting. Once in a while, I’ll get up early. But I’m not an early riser by nature. I like Tuesday […]
I’m not a fan of the band Toto. Their song Africa is an 80’s anthem, ranking #492 on Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest songs of all time. It’s not that high on my list, but like most creative endeavors, it’s subjective. If you get to the bottom of this week’s list, you’ll find a gem of […]
