Some Good Places to Start
Now
Answering the question, “What are you up to right now?” Updated December 2024
The Kitchen Drawer
A bunch of lists, tidbits and miscellany strewn about this site — a sitemap for things that get lost.
How I Internet
A relatively quick overview of how I approach journaling and whatnot.
Colorful
I’ve always loved colorful things. I think it might have started with The Muppets. Here’s a bunch of colorful posts.
The Chapters of Your Life
This started as a brief presentation about intent and photography that my good friend Erik turned into a short film as a birthday surprise during the pandemic.
Creative Mornings Talk
This video from 2013 is long, but lays out who I am and why I think design is awesome. I was nervous as heck through the whole thing.
Treat yourself like a client
A sequel to my Creative Mornings talk from Layers Conference in 2016 where I share piecing myself back together.
Great Discontent Interview
An old conversation that fills in the blanks of my career and whatnot in an interview format. My tip of the hat to Ryan and Tina for the moment.
A few favorite things
Books, movies, video games, music and random other things all mixed together in a visual, sortable grid.
My old website
I refuse to throw anything away (digitally at least). Here’s my old site cobbled together with spacer gifs and tables.
Recent Links
Art of Play
Filing away for when I need a gift for someone that enjoys fun (and for the next visit to Brooklyn). Billed as curiosity shop and magic theatre, I could browse through all the game boards and cards for hours. Shop local, even from afar I say.
47
I've had this tab open for a few days (happy belated Naz!) that commemorates forty-seven loops around the sun — with a collection of guideposts for each year that exude a sense of calm, curiosity, kindness and delight.
In the Year of a Tree
Katherine Yang has "been marking the seasons by the inhale and exhale of this tree" with photos and a poem. I feel every meter of these loops.
Flooded with emotions (mug)
Stumbled back to the superfun shop of Dori through 13 Animals Made From 13 Circles (inspired by the og Twitter bird). Through a link seen on HybridLogic
Keep moving
"Now is also the time to kinwork—to reach out to people you know, people whose company you enjoy, whether you’re old friends or new" Mandy Brown shares this and more approaches to moving toward work that makes lives better.
The Beautiful Islands of San Serriffe
Doug Wilson dove deep on an elaborate April Fool's bit in The Guardian that involved a series of islands with typographic inspiration. Even the ads were in on the joke.
POOF: Posters Out Of Focus
7 guesses to guess the movie/tv poster. A clue is revealed and image less pixelated with each wrong guess. New posters daily.
Student hall wayfinding
Sublime work at Warsaw University Campus by by Alina Rybacka-Gruszczyńska and Wojciech Staniewski. More views and insight on Alina's site
Why Dads Take Their Gay Sons to Hooters
This essay resonated on many levels. I had anxiety going into Hooters as a kid, thinking I didn't belong in some inexplicable way. But I always felt at ease once I was there. / via MetaFilter: Conversion therapy with a side of ranch
