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.

The fact remains that we designers are so often beaten down by data in an attempt to create logic where feelings are scary. I’ve done my share of A/B tests. I’ve used […]
The time change is upon us, more light in the evenings–which I like. It’s been a grind, and I’ll take a little extra sun in whatever way I can get it. I’m still working on my game, with the help of Claude. I’m at the point now where it’s in app testing. If you have […]
