Words & Letters
While building this post, I made so many dumb mistakes. I’ve made them before. I know where the speed bumps are. But still, I hit every one of them today. I could be tired. I might be distracted, trying to go too fast, or maybe it’s something else entirely. Too much on my plate? Nothing […]
It’s been a busy month but somehow, someway I’ve managed to do some of what I planned to do. I’ve still got another phase post to create. I need to write my 2024 book reading recap. The February issue of the Skate Book Club newsletter needs to happen. And, last and most important, Tails Of… […]
Another day, another batch of links, and I’ve still got more stuff I want to do before I rest. I’ll get there–it just feels like there are not enough hours in the day. I just posted my fifth Phase post (article or whatever). I never thought these would be easy to do. It’s harder than […]
I can’t believe the month is two-thirds over. The new year just started–where did these weeks go? I’ve been pulling (or reposting) all of my Medium content over to this site. It’s tedious but kind of fun to look back on my past efforts. I’m not grabbing every week’s link posts, just the more crafted […]
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 […]
The fact that it’s December feels like we’re at the end of something–a big milestone that we call a year. I put pressure on myself to get things done. It’s fabricated. There are no implications if I don’t post this. If I don’t create another Phase post (I did this last night–better late than never). […]
Black Friday week is upon us. Wasn’t it just one day before? The deals keep coming, and there is nothing that can stop it. It doesn’t matter if you give in and buy–the deals keep coming. As smart as the algorithms are, they still can’t seem to understand that their powers may have already completed […]
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 […]
