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.

I know, we've talked about this but never expected it was going to actually happen.
We've trained for this. You know what you need to do - let's move out!

so far my biggest problem with ios12 (beta) is that i cannot sync my iphone 7 to iTunes, which is preventing me from loading non-iTunes-Store music onto my phone. surely, this is a use-case that Apple cares about less and less.
