Words & Letters
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 all make the time for the things that matter. Whether it’s the new iPhone or some pretty visual content, if it makes your life better we will find the […]
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 […]
We’ve hit full-on Summer now. The heat keeps on coming. Take a little time out of the elements and listen to my first-ever podcast appearance with Brent Feldman, host of Mix and Matchbox. 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 […]
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. There are two work articles and then one each from a variety of mediums. In all the years I’ve been doing this, I can’t remember […]
