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 […]
We’re winding down and with the chaos I’ve got a short and sweet set of links this week. Next week should be better–gotta end strong.

It didn’t happen in September as planned, but my new project, Skate Book Club is live. If you missed the first issue, check it out here. Each month, we’ll bring you some of the best books we’ve found (or unearthed) in the skateboarding community. A huge thanks to my collaborator, Natalie Porter who helped me […]
Well, October is here, and some things didn’t get done. My new little monthly project is live – Phase.001. But the Skate Book Club isn’t quite there yet (any day now). It will happen, all in due time. This post isn’t about all that. We’re here for the links… Web Design/UX/UI The Psychology Behind McDonald’s […]
