How do you explain the world when it fails to make sense daily? This year has been a wild ride and shows no signs of stopping. I’m doing the things I can do, but it’s hard. At least there’s cool stuff to look at. Tools GraintouchA drawing app with the soul of print. Inspired by […]
We’re deep in it now. Summer is in full swing, though the days are already getting shorter (at least where I live). I’m starting to lose track of things. The link show rolls on. Someone asked me recently how long I’ve been doing these weekly posts, and I had to look it up: over eight […]
By the time this post goes live, my talk will be over. I should have mentioned this to you all in last week’s post, but with everything going on in my life, that didn’t happen. I’m excited to give my talk, ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ with UXDX’s The UX of Career […]

It’s tax day in the US. There’s a lot of stress around this event. I have to go to the post office and mail everything off. It’s bound to be a shit show. Why did I wait? I was told (and I haven’t verified this in any way) that you are less likely to get […]
Spring is here, it’s getting warmer, and there’s no end to the list of projects. This is 100% a problem of my own making. I’m OK with it, but it does sneak up on me at times. I’ll get a handle on it soon, I swear. For now–let’s tackle an easy one, more fun links […]
