Hi. My name’s Chris Glass. This is a place where I journal with photos and save links for things I don’t want to forget.

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.

An interview with Mary Ruefle

Austin Kleon's interview with the author is unique, "Ruefle doesn’t do Zoom interviews or use a computer, so we conducted this interview via our typewriters." It's an excellent format of thoughts.

Minx, the (not real) magazine

One of the best parts of the series Minx was the vibes — costumes, hairdos and sets were groovy — but it was when they dove into the development and design of the namesake magazine with mockups on the wall that I took notice.

My name’s Chris, this is Edie, and this is a place where I put stuff. In my spare time, I devise schemes to create more spare time. My goal with all this is to remember things, but also try and understand the patterns of life.

(That’s the grand idea — it’s usually just kind of ordinary, and that’s okay too.)
