For me, the most random posts are the best. You get a mix of everything–no clear hierarchy. Just creative juices flowing like a ripe peach. It’s a mess, but it’s wonderful.

The changes keep coming. We’ve got a sponsor this week. If you need a modern, no-code, web builder check out Readymag. I’ve also added a few design jobs (at the end) along with the usual pretty things to look at. Change is the only constant. It’s an overused saying, but it’s true. This week’s post […]
Most of these posts follow a pattern. There’s a bunch of links from one discipline, maybe two, and then a random collection from others. This week that pattern is gone. There are two work articles and then one each from a variety of mediums. In all the years I’ve been doing this, I can’t remember […]
In the spirit of the times, I’ve used chatGPT to help me write this week’s intro. You’ll find that it’s longer than what I usually write. Why? Because I didn’t write it.

Until then, I’ll be heads down, working on some new sites and side projects. Industrial Design Mobile Phone MuseumOver 2600 models and all the physical buttons Ronnie Fieg […]

I’m losing track of this year. Spring forward with daylight savings has me out of sync. I’ve got too much to do and not enough time to do it. I’m keeping busy, but things are falling through the cracks. We’ve all been there–this will pass. Architecture Henning Larsen uses natural materials for Danish school extensionStraw, […]
I finally got around to posting my 2022 book review post. It’s not as comprehensive as I would have liked, but rather than waiting for 3 months to pass, I opted for getting something up over making something perfect. Perfect is a lie anyway.
