Words & Letters
Writing words isn’t what I get paid to do. That hasn’t stopped me from trying to improve over the years. This effort comes and goes. I’m sure you aren’t here for these introductions, so let’s get to the visuals. Web Design/UX/UI Seeing the Systems in EdTechHow ‘pace layers’ can help designers understand complex systems A […]
I’m not a fan of the band Toto. Their song Africa is an 80’s anthem, ranking #492 on Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest songs of all time. It’s not that high on my list, but like most creative endeavors, it’s subjective. If you get to the bottom of this week’s list, you’ll find a gem of […]
It’s been a weird week or two. Up and down, highs and lows, with some old friends and new colleagues–all over the map. This isn’t bad, it’s just a confluence of events hitting at once. Mostly, it’s interesting and a good vantage point for reflection. I’m trying to take it all in and enjoy the […]
Some weeks there is just a lot out there. Maybe it’s the energy of the new year, maybe it’s random. Either way, enjoy the link bounty.

I debated, once again, taking this week off. Again, nope–I’ve got a set of links for you all. At this point, in the home stretch of 2023, I may as well push through. If you only check out one link this week, click on Living Switches. Animation Scott Pilgrim Takes OffGoing back to the characters […]
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 […]
If you haven’t figured it out, there’s a formula for these posts. Yes, the work changes. I also have my personal tastes which come through quite clearly at times. You’ll notice another Atari link in this week’s content. I have a soft spot for Atari–100% true. I always try and mix up the disciplines. I […]
Some days bring you a reality that is hard to shake. Paul Rubens (AKA Pee Wee Herman), Angus Cloud, and Sinéad O’Connor are the most recent examples of creative people who have left their mark and we are left trying to make sense of the loss. I grew up watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I don’t […]
There are days, sometimes weeks, or even months when things just feel off. You are out of sync with yourself and nothing you do seems to fit or flow. It’s hard to pin down a reason, when it started, or describe–you just know. What’s even harder is finding a way out. When I was younger, […]
