Words & Letters
I’ve travelled more this year already than all of last year. Mostly for work, with a few quick, fun, opportunistic trips in between. I love traveling. My family was always going somewhere, exclusively in a car, which is maybe why I still love a road trip, even when I rarely have the time for one. […]
For the first time in a long time, I wrote a short thing about my own work–Teaching Computers to Draw. It’s not that I’m not making things, but I often ignore the crucial step of documentation and telling the story. This is very common for designers. We’re always focused on the problem, making, and once […]

That doesn’t mean I don’t have goals, improvements, or new projects. So many projects–not enough time. Another habit of mine–starting projects. This […]

I don’t know if I’ll publish next week. I’m leaning towards, yes. We’ll see how I feel next week. No promises. I’m not a huge fan of looking back. I do know that we should take stock on occasion, and I’m feeling good about the year ahead. There’s a lot of work to do. That’s […]
I almost bailed on today’s post. It’s the end of the year, and I’ve got quite a few balls in the air. Will it calm down in the new year–doubtful. Enjoy the ride, that’s all we can do.

The end of the year promises new beginnings. How that happens varies wildly, but I’m hopeful. I’m trying to keep my focus on the horizon–SO MANY METAPHORS. Enough already. Link time.
