Words & Letters
Thanks to those who supported my week off. It’s pretty amazing that some of you are paying attention and even reached out in support of the break. In a little nod to the season, I’d like to share a few links to my friends and colleagues who create cool things that you all may enjoy. […]
I don’t have a lot of words for you all today. I’ve got links. That’s why you come every week. Let’s get to it. Web Design/UX/UI Is Atomic Design Dead?By Brad Frost Transition animations: a practical guidePrinciples that can be used immediately by anyone in their design process Industrial Design Vision Neue Klasse Offers Glimpse […]
Humans are strangely affected by numbers, patterns, chords, and repetition. We gravitate towards them like moths to a light. We can’t look away. We seek them out in chaos. We constantly try to bring some logic to the thousands of data points in our vision. We want things to make sense, to see the system […]
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 […]
Doing these posts on Tuesdays, in Pacific (US) time, always coincides with Apple’s announcements. It’s a thing but in this asynchronous world, it doesn’t matter.

We talk about design, skateboarding, and some random related topics. Hopefully, you all find it interesting. Web Design/UX/UI Zero UI: Redefining the […]
Simplify is one of the oldest design mandates. Less is more. I enjoy these classic experiences and products like anyone but we live in a society of excess where you can never have enough. More features, more pixels, the biggest, the best, and it’s never-ending. As someone who indulges in completionism, I fall into the […]
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 […]
Pour one out for June. 2023 is almost half over. I just got back from the Figma conference, Config. Good stuff overall, and my first big event post-pandemic. I went to a conference in the Fall, but it was a fraction of the size and folks were masked almost universally. We can’t control change. We […]
