Stained glass salvation
After many weeks of small and incremental work, something exciting and positive happened on the house renovation front. More specifically, a very special window finally happened. If you’ve been following our house renovation you know that “exciting and positive” are two words I’ve never used when describing the project. So we’re enjoying this bit of…

Build an intro and outro into your day, week, or month routine
One of my colleagues recently raised the idea that often we’ll do retrospectives and futurespectives (i.e. roadmapping, visiontyping) but that many or most of us don’t do introspectives.

Making a Minecraft Dungeons-themed birthday invite
My son’s bday is coming up in just under a month. I have been wanting to get back into my design tools a bit more. So why not take it upon myself to dip my toes into a real project and make up a birthday invite? That’s what I did this week (it was one…

On The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon and supporting good things
Right now, I’m listening to the crazy good Nina Simone & Lauryn Hill mash-up album, The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon, from Amerigo Gazaway. It was released back in 2018 and hasn’t lost any of its shine. It’s incredible. It’s also free. I believe the world of music is a better place because of this project…
