I can’t believe the month is two-thirds over. The new year just started–where did these weeks go? I’ve been pulling (or reposting) all of my Medium content over to this site. It’s tedious but kind of fun to look back on my past efforts. I’m not grabbing every week’s link posts, just the more crafted […]
The Los Angeles fires are affecting so many people in our creative community in devastating ways. It’s horrible to watch and with each new post, gofundme campaign, and news story it’s a reminder of how fragile our lives are. If you are in a position to help, I’m including links to do just that. Give […]
One last batch before the year ends. Since I took last week off, this one is chock full. Hopefully, you are doing something fun on New Year’s Eve, and you find these links later in the week. If you are looking for even more, I quietly dropped another Phase post last week. See you all […]
We’re winding down and with the chaos I’ve got a short and sweet set of links this week. Next week should be better–gotta end strong. Advertsing “It still blows my mind just how small the sculptures were”: How we Made Samsung’s Micro MiraclesWe go behind the scenes with ManvsMachine on this Brand Impact Award-winning film. […]
I didn’t think I’d have time today to get this done. Work, side projects, and life in general have been draining my energy from the link show. Whether it’s pure habit or the combination of habit and systems I’ve put in place—somehow, it got done. Enjoy the links. Here’s hoping next week is calmer. Architecture […]
The fact that it’s December feels like we’re at the end of something–a big milestone that we call a year. I put pressure on myself to get things done. It’s fabricated. There are no implications if I don’t post this. If I don’t create another Phase post (I did this last night–better late than never). […]
Black Friday week is upon us. Wasn’t it just one day before? The deals keep coming, and there is nothing that can stop it. It doesn’t matter if you give in and buy–the deals keep coming. As smart as the algorithms are, they still can’t seem to understand that their powers may have already completed […]
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 […]
No time for words right now. Today, I’ll be giving my first design presentation. It’s called ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ and it’s all about the horrible mistakes I see, over and over, in job applications. It’s not intended to blame–I’ve made most of these errors myself. I’m trying to help in […]
We’ve come so far. The end of the year is just over there, out of reach, but you can smell it coming. There’s still work to do, books to read, and goals to knock out. Did you ever have senioritis? If you are a high achiever, probably not. If you are easily distracted, like me, […]
