I’m pretty sure I’ll never like (or have any desire to watch) any movie branded with the handwritten building-block font.

There’s just SO MUCH STUFF that’s fun that I can’t wait to start digging into. First, I need to do something about my website and blog. Every year or so I get bored of the design of my website, and this year I have a very special idea about folding them together

Some readers have no doubt noticed that the layout of this blog changed dramatically a few weeks ago, from the old pink-and-green. That’s not the only change. My portfolio website, positdesign.com, is about 70% flipped to a beautiful brand-new template that I built for it.

This concept came to my attention about a month ago, but it’s just fantastic enough to share.
