Not a whole lot to say about this, other than that I need to read more David Foster Wallace. I suppose what makes this interesting is that digital things are giving us an even clearer lens into populations that we previously didn’t know much about. And it’s a reminder that primary sources are the real […]
Jon Kolko - Design Synthesis from Interaction Design Association on Vimeo.
Definitely worth a watch.
I found this just after I moved to NYC as I was traipsing about the design-related portion of the internet, and found it plainly fascinating. I’m trying to use it to help me frame “What I Do” so that I might explain it better […]

When I was very young, I wanted to be an architect. And then in college, for a while I wanted to pursue materials science. And then I found International Relations, and I wanted to become a diplomat.

In this week’s Business Week, there’s a great article […]
Oh no.
I’ve found a video series on shoemaking. Just when I thought I’d found the making activity that I would spend the rest of my life with…
Look at all those great tools!
You’ve probably seen this if your online habits mirror mine at all, but I thought I would still share.
NIKE REMOVED THIS VIDEO.
Same idea, just for some fresh ones.
