Redesigning things is fun. I’m no designer, but I thought it might be nice to try my hand at redesigning the Foursquare user page, particularly with regard to how one friend views another friend on the site. Based on some things that I know are possible from a programming standpoint, I’ve also suggested […]

For a while I’ve had the desire to design a quilt for the summertime. I found a piece of madras fabric on the internet that I really liked, and with a little Keynote colorization magic, I’ve created something that I really like as a pattern (see above). I’m thinking the quilt would be two layers, […]
It hurts somehow to admit, but I love the Courier interface.
It feels important to me to somehow attempt to mimic a journal for something that will be used as one. Certainly, this could be duplicated on an iPad using an app, but I think the idea of two screens and a functioning spine is a major differentiator.
We’ll […]

I recently came into possession of one Aeropress, a coffee-making apparatus from the fine folks at Aerobie. Yes, the same Aerobie that makes flying utensils such as the eponymous Aerobie ring that amused many of us as children.
And while I’m a fan of old-timey things (such as my new razor and my pour-over coffee-making process), I […]

Whoa! New YouTube.
I like. Less features, better features.
The Economist this week is very choice. If you have the means, I suggest you pick it up. There’s a whole special report on data, why they’re interesting, and how much we’re creating. (I remade these two charts to make them prettier for the internets. Feel free to steal/share.)
Fascinating:
“Wal-Mart processes 1M transactions every hour, feeding databases […]
A couple nights ago, while toiling away in the office, I had the good fortune of concocting a really delightful rum drink.
It’s a bit like a Negroni (Gin, Campari, Sweet Vermouth) but made with aged rum. The name is Amaro Nonna—which I’m told means “Bitter Grandmother” and should be the alternative name for the drink—and comes […]
I love the bike industry. I grew up around bikes—my aunt and uncle(s) own a bike shop in the town where I grew up—and I continue to love them to this day. But as someone who tinkers with marketing, I have to say the leaders in the industry (small and large companies alike) really understand […]

Just for accountability’s sake:
Blog/Journal every day – Anything. Don’t care what it is, just blog it. And IRL, some observation about life, hand-written into a journal. I plan to upload pics of the journal pages.
Reader every day – So much good stuff in my feeds lately. I need to consume more. More consumption = better output.
Finish two books […]
