Happy February. It’s over. We’ve got a slew of really long months ahead. We’ve got no real holidays (in the US) to speak of until Memorial Day in late May. I’m not trying to bum you out. This is a reality check. If you can, take a moment to book a few days off. All […]

2024 is off and running. I’ve been trying to get off on a good foot with some changes to my routine. So far this hasn’t gone to plan. Last week, my weekly post had the wrong date. It’s not a big deal, but not ideal. My attempt to do “100 Days of Code” isn’t going […]
Welcome to 2024. Everything is new. Everything is the same. Usually, at this time of year, I’d switch things up. Reformat the posts, change the intro structure, or add/remove some element(s). Not in 2024, nope, it’s not going down that way this year. At least, not right now. I can’t say what will happen tomorrow, […]

These often have a creative slant, but sometimes it’s simply a great story or characters: Reservation Dogs, The Bear (especially season 2, episode 7), Shrinking, Severance, The Killer, Asteroid City, and one from the classics The Wire.

I thought I might take this week off. Nope, didn’t happen. Maybe in December, I’ll skip one–maybe not.

Last week was a whirlwind. I was at the Clarity Conference in SF. I’ve been to this many times and it’s my favorite design event of the year. This is definitive now that the Behance event, 99U is no longer a thing. If you care about design systems, accessibility, or how to scale your digital […]
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 […]
