The Los Angeles fires are affecting so many people in our creative community in devastating ways. It’s horrible to watch and with each new post, gofundme campaign, and news story it’s a reminder of how fragile our lives are. If you are in a position to help, I’m including links to do just that. Give […]
Welcome to 2025. It’s a lot like 2024 so far. The main difference is that you must remember to put a five at the end of the date. The links are new, the layout got a little refresh, and that’s about it. There’s nothing new to promote aside from the amazing work below by other […]
One last batch before the year ends. Since I took last week off, this one is chock full. Hopefully, you are doing something fun on New Year’s Eve, and you find these links later in the week. If you are looking for even more, I quietly dropped another Phase post last week. See you all […]
Since my last post, so much has happened. I gave my first design talk, ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ (view the recording, thanks to SDXD), and then I gave it again the following day at UCSD’s design career event. There was a bunch of work stuff, and then I flew to where […]
No time for words right now. Today, I’ll be giving my first design presentation. It’s called ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ and it’s all about the horrible mistakes I see, over and over, in job applications. It’s not intended to blame–I’ve made most of these errors myself. I’m trying to help in […]
We’ve come so far. The end of the year is just over there, out of reach, but you can smell it coming. There’s still work to do, books to read, and goals to knock out. Did you ever have senioritis? If you are a high achiever, probably not. If you are easily distracted, like me, […]
A busy, busy little October. I’ve been getting shit done, executing new projects, and maintaining the usual stuff (these posts). Phase issue 2 is live. I’m doing a talk in a few weeks with SDXD in San Diego. It’s called ‘How NOT To Apply For a Design Job’. It looks like it’s sold out already–damn. […]
Phase.001 is live. My other new project is getting there. The links continue… Photography The DisciplesSeries of 56 photo montages of music fans outside concerts Web Design/UX The over-confetti-ing of digital experiencesHave we gone too far, and how do we make surprise & delight moments special again?

There are a few new things coming from yours truly. That is a strange phase–but we’ll get into that another time. Starting this week (still not sure when) I’ll be posting the first issue of ‘Phase’. It’s a monthly thing, more personal than this, and an attempt to get back to a more zine-like publishing […]
The link show continues. And, along with the weekly gems, I’ve got a new, more personal, monthly joining the fray. It’s called ‘Phase’ because aren’t we all going through a phase? I had an RPG game phase, a bucket hat phase, and a long hair phase. Facts, but nothing lasted forever. Maybe this new project […]
