Words that would otherwise be coming out of my mouth

Norwegian skateboarders on frozen sand. Beautiful and surreal.

I had a fantastic conversation with Jonathan Cutrell on the Developer Tea podcast. We had such a good conversation the final podcast was chopped into two separate parts.

Ziggy’s been featured in a roundup of amazing studio dogs, and I couldn’t be prouder. Here’s what I have to say: I work from home with my brother and my wife who runs her own business. Ziggy is the glue […]

My friend Andrew Sloan is amazing. Not too long we were at a friend’s wedding and he was talking about how he was creating a fictitious design agency for space companies. He printed some business cards and started chatting with commercial space […]

I absolutely love this from the brilliant Brendan Dawes: After a recording session on one of those large mixing desks, after you’ve twiddled countless knobs and push around many faders you do something called zeroing the desk. This is were […]

These are simple and beautiful.

I absolutely love this clip of Paul McCartney showing how to play the bass part for Ever Present Past. He’s just so casual explaining it all (speaking of casual, it’s weird to see him dressed in a t-shirt). Here’s the things I […]

Josh wrote about social buttons, and I agree. I always had a hunch that social buttons weren’t super effective, and when asked for my opinion, I’d say that I thought they’re crufty, probably don’t get interacted with all that much, and don’t […]

I got the new MacBook Pro (13″, fully maxed-out version) several months ago. My older MacBook Pro was (and is!) in good working order, but when I hired my brother last year he ended up using my ancient MacBook Air. Every […]

This graphic from xkcd is brilliant (as is always the case). “Every mobile app attempts to expand until it includes chat.” Luke Wroblewski Luke wrote that in 2013 and it certainly continues to ring true today. The explosion of applications […]

“Command line for non-techies.” Yes please. Remy Sharp just released a series for learning the command line. As someone who’s limped through terminal commands for most of my career, this looks like a fantastic opportunity to level up and get […]

PSA: this series on Netflix is really good. Each episode highlights a designer in a particular field (illustration, architecture, set design, etc). The subject talks about their work, their process, and their journey, and the whole thing is incredibly well produced. I […]

Dust of Firefox. Fire up Rachel Andrew‘s grid demo to see this: Install browser update. Reload to see this: Neat! Well, guess it’s time to really learn grid. I’ve been in so many of Rachel Andrew’s and Jen Simmon‘s conference talks, […]

It’s always great to hear Ethan’s super smart thoughts, and his thoughts on container queries are of course on point. I’ve been rounding up resources on element/container queries on This Is Responsive for years now, and hope that words from prominent […]

A fantastic and comprehensive roundup of logos from around the world. It looks like lot of work went into this!

Wes Bos wrote a great post about how he deals with email. I especially I love his advice about getting to the source of why you’re getting so many emails. If you get the same email more than three times, […]

On January 20th, 2017, the accessibility and Spanish translations of the White House website were removed. This goes against the open and inclusive nature of the web. Thankfully, there are grassroots efforts in place to translate the White House site into […]

Look at the flag of the United States of America: What comes to mind? Maybe words like “freedom”, “liberty”, and “pride” pop into your head. But I’m guessing for a lot of people, concepts like militarism, conservatism, and ‘murica also spring to […]

Ian wrote up some thoughts about how he came into the web industry. By way of being my brother, he had the concepts of modularity and atomic design beaten into him from Day 1 on the job. Perhaps he has […]

I was not aware of this site, but it’s been floating around in light of the recent awful news that Betsy DeVos made it in as Secretary of Education. Here’s what Donors Choose is about: We make it easy for anyone […]
