i’ve spent the last 36 hours with @taylorswift13’s “I can’t live without you, baby” line, from @TheTimMcGraw’s “Highway Don’t Care” stuck in my head. and now, you can too! https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/highway-dont-care-feat-taylor-swift-keith-urban/591951269?i=591951474&mt=1&app=music&at=10lrAF

saddest thing about twitter is when a dude with 17 followers gets to espouse his crappy opinion at a highly functional, exceptional & well-regarded person (almost always a woman) & they’re forced to address him or appear elitist or exclusionary if they ignore his baseless attack.

my kids really love the lyrics display in the music app on the firetv, and anyway, Amazon taught my kids to swear.

disconcerting trend with mapping apps and websites: obscuring or just flat-out hiding the address of the thing you looked for (so you can’t write it down/put it into another app)

“exactly how old and miserly am i? i have a small container of PC screws in my toolbox that are probably older than most of this audience.”

there aren’t any wheels — it’s from the Tony Hawk ‘Ride’ Wii game. if i wanted wheels i’d bring this one up from the basement (and probably hurt myself)

forcing myself to first write a lot of content for my website redesign has led me to colloquially recount my entire career to this point on my ‘about’ page.

and let me clarify; i don’t object to being put in a position of responsibility, i object to this particular position where i am responsible, but i have no agency. i want to support my team and let them do their best work — they rock, but i’m powerless to truly make decisions.

today for a while i actually wrote code and it actually worked and i was super happy with myself and definitely been reconsidering this shift towards pseudo-management which does not bring me joy. i love making things. i don’t love yelling at people to update Jira.

Hopper is semi-feral. he sort-of tolerates us. (my wife gave him a bath in 2009 and he hasn’t forgiven her yet). but i get about it 1/2hr of this every night if i sit on the couch.

my new profile photo is courtesy of my siamese cat, hopper. he’s quite happy in this photo. no, really. it’s obvious.

the best thing for designers and devs to learn (about each others craft) is the reasoning behind how they make decisions.
it helps if designers ‘get’ the box model and component re-use. it helps if devs ‘get’ vertical rhythm, basic color theory, etc.
