Words & Letters
The internet is still an amazing place to get lost. Sometimes, I stumble into an old familiar neighborhood and get a little deja vu. This happened in a very pleasant way this week when I found a music video (that I thought was new) from the band OK Go. OK Go became famous for doing […]
Theres a lot of bad things happening in the world, in the US, and in cities nearby. I try to celebrate the good things: beauty, innovation, and joy of craft in these weekly link collections. It’s hard to ignore the chaos outside. We all compartmentalize things to survive–it’s a survival tactic, however flawed. The link […]
Another day, another batch of links, and I’ve still got more stuff I want to do before I rest. I’ll get there–it just feels like there are not enough hours in the day. I just posted my fifth Phase post (article or whatever). I never thought these would be easy to do. It’s harder than […]
Time flies. Days turn into weeks, into months, into years, and it’s easy to lose track of it all. I’ve been at this design game for a long time now. From my production designer days to managing teams and everything in between–I still find it interesting (which is good). That’s not to say each job […]
Welcome to 2025. It’s a lot like 2024 so far. The main difference is that you must remember to put a five at the end of the date. The links are new, the layout got a little refresh, and that’s about it. There’s nothing new to promote aside from the amazing work below by other […]
Since my last post, so much has happened. I gave my first design talk, ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ (view the recording, thanks to SDXD), and then I gave it again the following day at UCSD’s design career event. There was a bunch of work stuff, and then I flew to where […]
I am still working on the newsletter–and six other side projects. Also, if you are in San Diego, I’m hiring a product designer. There’s a lot of balls in the air these days. A few months back, I thought that by October, I’d have a little more clarity on everything. Was that a foolish dream? […]
Phase.001 is live. My other new project is getting there. The links continue… Photography The DisciplesSeries of 56 photo montages of music fans outside concerts Web Design/UX The over-confetti-ing of digital experiencesHave we gone too far, and how do we make surprise & delight moments special again?

There are a few new things coming from yours truly. That is a strange phase–but we’ll get into that another time. Starting this week (still not sure when) I’ll be posting the first issue of ‘Phase’. It’s a monthly thing, more personal than this, and an attempt to get back to a more zine-like publishing […]
The link show continues. And, along with the weekly gems, I’ve got a new, more personal, monthly joining the fray. It’s called ‘Phase’ because aren’t we all going through a phase? I had an RPG game phase, a bucket hat phase, and a long hair phase. Facts, but nothing lasted forever. Maybe this new project […]
