Still no new workflow. Still getting the links posted. It’s June. I need to have this workflow thing sorted by the end of the month. The only way to get there is by creating a deadline. Hold me accountable, gang. Typography The old typography is new again Born of analog typesetting constraints, optical sizing is […]
Five months are almost complete, which means one more to the halfway mark of 2026. This also means that I still haven’t completed my new workflow. Progress is being made, but it’s slow. The tech overlords make a lot of promises, but the AI tools are still quite slow. Oh well, we’ve still got a […]
It’s been a whirlwind. My process is still not tidy–but I’m seeing glimpses of what could be. There’s no easy. Links are still fun, though. Work Mockups Were Never the Hard Part With AI, anyone on a team can generate mockups in minutes. That was never the hard part. The difficult work is, and always […]
When I take a week off, like anything, it’s a bit of a relief. I still consume content. I’m still saving links. The other thing that I’ve been spending time on is process. I need to make these posts easier to create. It’s not the post itself; it’s the multiple versions. WordPress is easy enough, […]

I’ve travelled more this year already than all of last year. Mostly for work, with a few quick, fun, opportunistic trips in between. I love traveling. My family was always going somewhere, exclusively in a car, which is maybe why I still love a road trip, even when I rarely have the time for one. […]
For the first time in a long time, I wrote a short thing about my own work–Teaching Computers to Draw. It’s not that I’m not making things, but I often ignore the crucial step of documentation and telling the story. This is very common for designers. We’re always focused on the problem, making, and once […]
I don’t plan to take a week off. It usually happens when I see the deadline approaching and realize there’s just no way. Work has been busy, life has been busy, and it was time. I don’t see either of these calming down in the near future, but I’ll work through it. This week’s links […]
Short month, short batch of links to get it rolling. No rhyme ot reason, just trying to keep up, and get some sleep as well. Photography Benjamin Wolf Prints available on Etsy Web Design/UX/UI Apple’s unrivalled commitment to excellence is fading – a designer explains why It feels a peculiar decision to let users get […]
