The fact that it’s December feels like we’re at the end of something–a big milestone that we call a year. I put pressure on myself to get things done. It’s fabricated. There are no implications if I don’t post this. If I don’t create another Phase post (I did this last night–better late than never). […]
A busy, busy little October. I’ve been getting shit done, executing new projects, and maintaining the usual stuff (these posts). Phase issue 2 is live. I’m doing a talk in a few weeks with SDXD in San Diego. It’s called ‘How NOT To Apply For a Design Job’. It looks like it’s sold out already–damn. […]
It’s been a busy month. I can’t keep track of everything. In fact, I’m not even trying to. I focus on the task in front of me. Everything else is unimportant. This is not exactly a zen approach. It’s a method of survival. The link show must go on, that’s the task right now. Data […]
I was lucky enough to attend Config (the Figma design conference) last week and this week is the 4th of July. Work is getting done… somehow. The machine never stops. Take a breath, walk, or whatever you do to give yourself a break. Architecture Fritz Tiny HomesMore living per square inch: Refined tiny homes for […]
I just read that one of my favorite sources is shutting down. It was a daily newsletter that focused on web design but always had creative surprises and rarely missed a day. There’s no point in calling it out (until, or if, they relaunch) but I understand why. This work, or is it a hobby […]
These posts follow a simple formula. But, each week delivers different results and I don’t plan themes or focus areas. I take in what comes from suggestions (yes, I’m open to suggestions–thanks Don for sharing the great animation), my collected sources that I still read via RSS, email newsletters, and friends. I obviously don’t share […]

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 too late to get into writing mode. I’ll leave you all with a fun batch of links. I am trying to mix it up–but sometimes it’s easier said than done.

I don’t know what happened to the first month of 2024. If the rest of this year goes by at this speed I don’t know how I’ll keep up. As usual, I’ll keep plugging away–enjoy the links.
