Summer is in full swing—and the world feels like it’s burning, in more ways than one. When I’m not curating links, I’ve been spending time talking with other creative folks about the current state of things. It’s tough out there, especially for designers navigating a brutal job market. So, I’m setting aside time to help—at […]
I’ve been trying to get on a more regular schedule. I say trying because it’s not happening with any level of success. Change is hard. It’s even harder when it’s built upon years of habit. I’ve read most of the famous books about habits, and I understand the principles. I heard recently that habits are […]

Enjoy. Web Design/UX/UI “Product Kondo”: A Guide To Evaluating Your Organizational Product PortfolioIt starts with good […]
If this week has a theme, it’s technology. Maybe every week is about technology. Anyway, let’s not get into that–let’s just look at the pretty, thoughtful, and wonderful links.

Spring is here, it’s getting warmer, and there’s no end to the list of projects. This is 100% a problem of my own making. I’m OK with it, but it does sneak up on me at times. I’ll get a handle on it soon, I swear. For now–let’s tackle an easy one, more fun links […]
Where to begin this week? March is one-third over. I still haven’t written that 2024 books post that I’ve been meaning to get done. I’m going to stop right now and get back to work. Enjoy the links.
