The Road

The world is not round, man, not at all. It goes on, from mountains to canyons, undulating like a frequency—the rhythm of grand living. You can feel it. Smell it. A lesson learned where the white pines stand back to make way for grass uncivil and flowers with colors but no names. You’ve seen it. […]

Futerra Couch

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he red couch is the oldest object in the office. Other things are made to seem old, as this is the fashion nowadays. Neoindustrial lamps turn up at every street corner as do tabletops made of reclaimed wood. Still, nothing in the office owned space in the world beyond a few years, save the red […]

Lesson

A storm sagged the June sky until it purpled. Wind moved the grass. A field that stretched on until the earth curved and disappeared. They sat on the porch together, one rocking and one still. “What is it feel like? To be dead, I mean?” “It ain’t like nothing.” “Does it hurt?” “No. Burns though, like a […]

Rhythm In Design Composition

[dropcap]E[/dropcap]verything has sound. Everything. A lesson learned the summer after I nearly failed English over Tennyson’s poem, The Brook. My teacher challenged us to read the poem to ourselves. Euphony, my teacher professed, was the magic of the poem, and our final was to tell the class what we heard as we read it. I […]

Most Spun Albums of 2014

While most people do the “best” albums of each year, I decided to give you the ones I listened to the most because, well, I hardly ever listen to new stuff just because it is new. I like music that feels timeless to me, regardless of year, and I honestly find myself discovering music that […]

Misfit Retreat 2014: Cagayan de Oro

[dropcap]I[/dropcap] saw a woman standing near the edge of a road in Cagayan de Oro. She clutched her baby as a car packed with foreigners attempted to share the same narrow space. To be true, it was hardly a road at all, as squatters by the hundreds built shanties out of tin and shoelaces and […]

My Philosophy: It’s Either “Hell Yes” or No

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]magine that you have 1 million dollars to give to a worthy cause. It’s your money, you’ve earned it, saved for it, robbed someone… whatever…and now you have to pick some charity, person or place to give that money. How would you make that determination? Would you give it to the person who asked first? […]

Made by Few, Made My Week

So, I am right now driving back from good ol’ Arkansas (listening to Donnie and Allan talk about buttholes), where I attended Made by Few, a brilliant design conference hosted by my good friend Arlton. The speakers included the likes of Mozilla superstar, Crystal Beasley, the redunkulously talented James White (seriously, check dude’s portfolio), and […]

Rails: Toes dipped and The Water is Fine

Okay, so, as noted in my previous post, I was going full steam at rails. It has been about a week and I have my tutorials working, my Lynda and Treehouse accounts fired up…but even as went at it full go, I found myself caught in a snag. Time after time. After hours and hours […]

My Decision To Make the Move to Rails

If you know me, you know my philosophy on the web is all about learning as much as possible in order to fully complete anything I am working on…that means concept, design, development, programming and promotion. Although most of my peers scoff at the notion of working to learn all these disciplines, I have my […]
