Meanwhile, on the Internet...

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 […]

“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Here’s a nice roundup of a bunch of ways to get more involved in politics and activism.

I had a great time chatting with my pal Christopher Schmitt about atomic design principles, my book, and a bunch of other stuff. Give it a listen!

These are some beautiful words from Craig Mod. He describes the anxieties many people feel about technology’s strong pull on their attention. I can certainly relate.

We just watched Werner Holzog’s film, Lo and Behold, which discusses the cultural and societal effects of the Internet. It’s a fascinating film that ponders things about our digital age that deserve to be pondered. It contains some rather cute moments […]

I’m doing an Ask Me Anything on Hashnode tomorrow, so like the name implies you can ask me about anything you want. Could be about web stuff, music, personal stuff, whatever. I will answer it. I can’t make any promises […]

The fine folks at An Event Apart interviewed me about my design career, Atomic Design, and what I’m talking about at An Event Apart this year. Here’s a taste: I’ve been fascinated with how teams work together (or don’t work together!). […]
