Words & Letters
I don’t have a lot of words for you all today. I’ve got links. That’s why you come every week. Let’s get to it. Web Design/UX/UI Is Atomic Design Dead?By Brad Frost Transition animations: a practical guidePrinciples that can be used immediately by anyone in their design process Industrial Design Vision Neue Klasse Offers Glimpse […]
Mini vacations are really good. Longer vacations are really great, but not always possible due to life, work, money, etc. Take what you can get. I’ve been finding time to do this (the mini variety) and it’s been really nice to focus on personal things. Luckily, I work with some awesome people who keep the […]
I’m pretty good at turning my brain off when I need to. Video games, shooting a basketball, or even a long walk can all be a pathway to clearing my mind. Sometimes I will just take a deep breath, but usually, I need a little more. Something physical or some mentally engaging activity (video games) […]
Juggling isn’t a game. It has elements and a history of performance and dates back to 2000 B.C. according the the internet. We’re all juggling a lot these days. I’m really good at tossing the balls into the air–catching them is another story. I need more practice. As you can probably surmise from this series […]
Doing these posts on Tuesdays, in Pacific (US) time, always coincides with Apple’s announcements. It’s a thing but in this asynchronous world, it doesn’t matter. We all make the time for the things that matter. Whether it’s the new iPhone or some pretty visual content, if it makes your life better we will find the […]
If you haven’t figured it out, there’s a formula for these posts. Yes, the work changes. I also have my personal tastes which come through quite clearly at times. You’ll notice another Atari link in this week’s content. I have a soft spot for Atari–100% true. I always try and mix up the disciplines. I […]
It’s been a long day and I’m fresh out of words. I said a whole bunch of words on the Mix & Matchbox podcast last week. I just realized that an entire section of this post didn’t save and I have to rebuild it. Enough words–let me fix that and get some sleep. Art HuntzLayered […]
Some days bring you a reality that is hard to shake. Paul Rubens (AKA Pee Wee Herman), Angus Cloud, and Sinéad O’Connor are the most recent examples of creative people who have left their mark and we are left trying to make sense of the loss. I grew up watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I don’t […]
Pour one out for June. 2023 is almost half over. I just got back from the Figma conference, Config. Good stuff overall, and my first big event post-pandemic. I went to a conference in the Fall, but it was a fraction of the size and folks were masked almost universally. We can’t control change. We […]
I’m always adjusting the format of these posts. The feedback, which is usually positive, (thank you all very much) is somewhat limited. I’ve tried more images, less words, more personal, quotes, and I even tried a daily version with five links for a very short time. I’ll be adding a few more variations in the […]
