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, […]
For me, the most random posts are the best. You get a mix of everything–no clear hierarchy. Just creative juices flowing like a ripe peach. It’s a mess, but it’s wonderful. This week’s post is sponsored by Readymag Boost your workflow with the handy web design tool—Readymag Designing client websites in a team? Readymag’s got […]
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 […]
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 […]
“I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, […]
In the spirit of the times, I’ve used chatGPT to help me write this week’s intro. You’ll find that it’s longer than what I usually write. Why? Because I didn’t write it. I did edit and curate the output into something that I’m comfortable with. I also used Grammarly, to fine-tune at the end. Here […]
