I just received a Silver Alert. Blasting on many devices in my house, as they do — I thought it was an earthquake alert.

It's a really nice newsletter, check out the past issues too!

I want to like you, Apple Music Chill Covers playlist, but you just can’t have 4 different covers of “Iris” and 3 different covers of “Time after Time” within 45 minutes’ worth of music

with apologies to folks who follow me on Mastodon, figured I’d populate this feed with a few meditations

“I’m a happy designer when…” is a series of reflections on my work. I’d like to share the small wins, good feelings, accidental victories, and micro accomplishments that epitomize my job at its best.
