By the time this post goes live, my talk will be over. I should have mentioned this to you all in last week’s post, but with everything going on in my life, that didn’t happen. I’m excited to give my talk, ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ with UXDX’s The UX of Career […]
I’ve been trying to get on a more regular schedule. I say trying because it’s not happening with any level of success. Change is hard. It’s even harder when it’s built upon years of habit. I’ve read most of the famous books about habits, and I understand the principles. I heard recently that habits are […]
There’s a running theme in the intro to my creative link posts. It goes something like this. 1: How is it (random month, year, or other time frame) already?2: I feel so behind.3: Fuck it, here’s some pretty things to look at–that I had no hand in making (most of the time). I won’t bore […]
I’m finding the new groove, I think. There’s been a lot of change, new schedules, patterns, some travel, and life continues to throw curveballs when you least expect it. But, somehow, we continue to get shit done. The next Tails Of… will be here this month. You should subscribe if you like art or skateboards. […]
I get to this place at the end of every month. I’m continually surprised that the month is almost over. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get X, Y, or Z done. In the greater scheme of things, it doesn’t matter too much. No one is living or dying by these link posts–I hope not. I’ve […]

It’s tax day in the US. There’s a lot of stress around this event. I have to go to the post office and mail everything off. It’s bound to be a shit show. Why did I wait? I was told (and I haven’t verified this in any way) that you are less likely to get […]
Spring is here, it’s getting warmer, and there’s no end to the list of projects. This is 100% a problem of my own making. I’m OK with it, but it does sneak up on me at times. I’ll get a handle on it soon, I swear. For now–let’s tackle an easy one, more fun links […]
Given all of the AI hysteria, let’s go back to the classics, Jurassic Park (1993). In case you don’t recall, let me set the scene. Ian Malcolm, the chaos theorist and moral center of the movie, is giving the creator (AKA billionaire with big dreams) a reality check after seeing the scale of the DNA […]
I can’t even right now. I’ve been on tech support for almost two hours. They can’t explain what the problem was–it just became resolved. That’s until it happens again. I’ll stop… enjoy the links.
