This morning I had a chance to stop by a breakfast roundtable as part of Design Exchange Boston, a series of events taking place this week celebrating design. This morning’s session focused on design as a career, but the wisdom panelists shared was relevant beyond landing a job. Some favorites: As a designer, if you’re […]

Jack and I are headed back to Sturdivant Island with friends this evening, hopefully with fewer mosquitos, less lightening and less getting stranded this time around, but also with fewer sparklers and no tripod. So it goes. But first! Be sure to check out the local Kickstarter campaign from Buca Boot, learn how to make a […]
I don’t know, you guys. Between new and exciting house delays (thanks, gov’ment) and the stressful news that follows high-profile political strife, I’m at a loss today. This is beautiful, though. You should take a deep breath, and watch, and enjoy. Better luck tomorrow. video credit: Marc-Antoine Locatelli
I, like many people it seems, have a love-hate relationship with The Facebook. I maintain my account for the ability to keep in touch, I hate the event “maybes,” but most importantly any trip down the rabbithole that is my Facebook feed is certain death to productivity.

Jack and I have been wandering about the eastern seaboard, visiting family and taking some time away from our myriad screens.

September is always a hectic month for us, and some […]
On Friday, Jack and I had a chance to attend talks at TEDxCambridge, focusing on local research and the Cantabrigian spirit. One of our favorite talks came from Deepak Jagdish and Daniel Smilkov, researchers at MIT’s Media Lab and the people behind Immersion, a tool that allows you to map and manipulate your email metadata.
I fully intended to write about Craig Ward’s amazing body of type design work and his Glitch Typography series today, inspired by the woven incarnation of binary data we mentioned last week; then, completely unaware of my planned post, Jack introduced me to Georg Fischer’s Glitch Images. With a bit more digging, everything had changed.
