I was getting started on assembling this week’s post and I suddenly found myself deep down a web rabbit hole that I couldn’t escape. It started simply enough–I got an email from the fine people at LEGO. They updated their loyalty program and wanted me to move over to this new thing. I complied. That […]

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 […]

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 […]

There are days, sometimes weeks, or even months when things just feel off. You are out of sync with yourself and nothing you do seems to fit or flow. It’s hard to pin down a reason, when it started, or describe–you just know. What’s even harder is finding a way out. When I was younger, […]

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 […]

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 […]

I’m always adjusting the format of these posts. The feedback, which is usually positive, (thank you all very much) is somewhat limited. I’ve tried more images, less words, more personal, quotes, and I even tried a daily version with five links for a very short time. I’ll be adding a few more variations in the […]

In the spirit of the times, I’ve used chatGPT to help me write this week’s intro. You’ll find that it’s longer than what I usually write. Why? Because I didn’t write it. I did edit and curate the output into something that I’m comfortable with. I also used Grammarly, to fine-tune at the end. Here […]
