Tomorrow is my FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY with the most wonderful, talented, funny, clever, sexy, brilliant, amazing man in the universe. On top of all that, he cooks, too.
Before I met Cristo, I was an extremely picky eater. So here is an abbreviated list of foods that I either refused to try because I assumed they were gross, or else convinced myself that I hated—until I met him:
Did my thesis just become even more relevant? Mega-publisher Random House just struck a deal with California-based video-game design firm THQ, Inc. (more at MobyLives, via Rebecca Blood)
I’m battling the last gasps of a miserable cold. I’m not up to leaving the house, doing laundry, or working on art for my thesis, but I’m fine to read books, stare at screens, and tap out text. Since this is the best I’ve felt in four days, I’m tackling [...]
My blog is currently mostly on hiatus as I complete my master’s degree thesis, but I occasionally pop by with small updates, primarily about the thesis project. As soon as that’s complete, beginning in October/November 2011, expect a massive redesign of positdesign.com. You can still find me on other parts [...]
Welcome to positdesign 2011! Prepare for a major overhaul to this site, and a lot of details on my masters thesis, in upcoming months. For my thesis project, I’ll be describing the death of Walter Benjamin, a German-Jewish cultural critic who most people accept committed suicide in Portbou, Spain, in [...]
I just finally got my hair cut; it’s been a long time, and it was getting very big. I’m super-happy with it; the length and layers are spot-on, and the stylist exactly nailed my bangs, which no longer do the Peggy Olsen split. It’s a nice enough day to spend [...]
Here’s my final project from the truly exception Harvard Extension School course “Expository Writing E-48: Multimedia Communication: Principles of Visual Rhetoric.” Probably one of the best classes I’ve taken in my ten years of availing myself of my favorite job perk. I normally hate group projects, but Jesse and Brynmore [...]
By this time next week, my very last semester of classes will be over! I’ll have two big fun portfolio pieces, and the only thing standing between me and my master’s degree from Harvard will be the thesis project. I have three family Christmas gifts left to pick out, and [...]

Taking a bit of inspiration from Nubby Twiglet’s recurring The Typofiles feature, this first post-Mad Men edition of Design Geek focuses on “found” typographic design. It also owes a bit to Nubby’s blog; I began receiving the Bloomingdale’s catalog shortly after ordering a wallet from their online store after first [...]
I can’t believe it’s November; that my semester is 2/3 over; that it’s been over a month since my last substantial post. My “Multimedia Communication: Principles of Visual Rhetoric” class is AMAZING. I knew it would be, but it’s exceeded my hopes. It’s in so many ways an affirmation of [...]
I took it and so should you—The Survey For People Who Make Websites, 2010:
back at base, bugs in the software flash the message: something’s out there… Twenty-seven years ago today, a man named Stanislav Petrov saved the entire world. Petrov was a Lieutenant Colonel working in a top-secret Soviet nuclear defense bunker outside of Moscow. One of his co-workers called out sick, and [...]
