It had been a rough day, so when I walked into the party I was very chalant, despite my efforts to appear gruntled and consolate.

Every designer need reminding that nothing comes from wholecloth, and that every iconic image is the work of actual human hands. Process, process, process. Note that hundreds of sketches preceded this one. Amazing. I love this… Continue reading
One of my hugest webdesign/usability pet peeves is galleries or slideshows. I just don't want to have to hit the NEXT arrow 14 times to learn ten pieces of information, or to see twelve pretty pictures. If your click-per rate and my patience have a showdown, I'm closing the tab.
Luckily, it's not always strictly necessary:
- Keep Calm and Carry On poster. Typographically and visually stunning, these were designed by the British Ministry of Information in 1939, to be distributed in the event of a German invasion on English soil. Only 50 were printed, and they were never hung. I love the message, and believe everyone should live by it.
- Jewish Rosaries by Carlen Altman. My Catholic and Jewish grandmothers would
Most of my classmates were bums anyway Continue reading
Are there any words that remind you so strongly of a particular context that you just simply can't bring yourself to use them seriously? Continue reading
Actually, frat boys, morons, and people entirely lacking taste buds drink Natty Light. But thank you for so misjudging me, Facebook. Continue reading
I had a lot of fun with the first project for my video class, and am really enjoying digging back into FinalCut Pro. Continue reading

Why takes the science out of programming. He says: learning programming is about learning grammar. This is, very literally, language I understand. Continue reading
I have a love-hate relationship with the NY Times' Thursday Styles section. I read it every single week, yet it is simply so wrong that I derive endless amusement from its startling out-of-touchness with anything resembling actual fashion happening in the world. Continue reading
I've only had my iPhone—has it really been just?—two weeks, and I already can't fathom life before it. This device isn't a luxury item, but a basic necessity for me. Continue reading
Caring about grammar is cool!!
Or anyway, if this thing keeps cycling the web, it will be soon. Continue reading
