Some Good Places to Start
Now
Answering the question, “What are you up to right now?” Updated December 2024
The Kitchen Drawer
A bunch of lists, tidbits and miscellany strewn about this site — a sitemap for things that get lost.
How I Internet
A relatively quick overview of how I approach journaling and whatnot.
Colorful
I’ve always loved colorful things. I think it might have started with The Muppets. Here’s a bunch of colorful posts.
The Chapters of Your Life
This started as a brief presentation about intent and photography that my good friend Erik turned into a short film as a birthday surprise during the pandemic.
Creative Mornings Talk
This video from 2013 is long, but lays out who I am and why I think design is awesome. I was nervous as heck through the whole thing.
Treat yourself like a client
A sequel to my Creative Mornings talk from Layers Conference in 2016 where I share piecing myself back together.
Great Discontent Interview
An old conversation that fills in the blanks of my career and whatnot in an interview format. My tip of the hat to Ryan and Tina for the moment.
A few favorite things
Books, movies, video games, music and random other things all mixed together in a visual, sortable grid.
My old website
I refuse to throw anything away (digitally at least). Here’s my old site cobbled together with spacer gifs and tables.
Recent Links
Coffee Receipt Stories
Stories and drawings on coffee receipts. Sort by themes or location. 600 and counting. Delightful. / via things to click
The website as a book
Venkatram Harish Belvadi has among the finest personal websites I've seen. The typography. The quiet focus. That menu to navigate and set preferences (upper right). The photography sections. It's all so very lovely! This post provides some insight.
How to make friends in Durham
My friend Meredith sent over this community guide knowing such things are in my wheelhouse. I've been imagining a local version for Cincinnati ever since. Here's an interview with creator of the site, Mary Parsons.
You deserve to notice something good today
Merlin fired up a new blog thing, and he has some notions to share. This one's about developing a muscle to notice good things. He also helps you find a pencil sharpener in another post. / via Merlin, but reminded by Luke
Taking an Internet Walk
Wanna get good lost? "There is not one internet. There are many. The fun, poetic, homecooked internets are waiting for us." / via Naive Weekly
Open the document
Stay in the document. This and a few other self-motivation posters Austin Kleon has made to keep himself on task.
Text-Only NPR News
I wouldn't mind NPR's full (graphic laden) news site, but they repeat stories 2, sometimes 3 times in different design patterns. This is a common practice across news, blog and magazine sites — and it drives me BONKERS. This text-only version eradicates this problem and is now my default news reader. / hat tip to Paul!
The smallest toothpaste
And I thought travel sizes were small, but no! Phil has discovered an even smaller toothpaste.
Vivian Browne: My Kind of Protest
This link is a reminder for myself to check out this show at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati before May 25, 2025.
