A new little blog put together by me, and motivated almost entirely by the fact that I think the default tumblr music player looks a bit like the display on a treadmill. Right now it has a couple of favorites of mine up, but I’m hoping it will evolve more into just a log of when I’m running and what I’m listening to. I would love it if people would add their own!
This tuesday at Glasslands.
Scenes from our D&D campaign on Banters.
We picked D&D characters last night.
I made a silly project called Tweet On Yo Face — it takes your Twitter feed and pairs the Tweets with related images.
The results are absurd, funny, and occasionally, weirdly poignant.
tweet! on! yo! faaaaaaaaaaaace!

Today, I’m excited to launch a new website for myself. There isn’t much to say, but here are a few notes on the redesign:
- I wanted to pull most of my essays together in a more formal way. There was something that felt wrong about having all of those words idly sit twenty pages down in a Tumblr blog.
- There is no portfolio yet. That will come later, once life is a bit more certain after the book is completed. There’s a list of fun concepts for now.
- People frequently ask me for book suggestions. Other times, they don’t and I recommend them books anyway. I made a Library for the website to enable this vice. The library catalogs my favorite books which I think would be of interest to designers.
- The homepage is a bit nutty, but I’m quite fond of it.
Thanks for your time, and I hope you enjoy the website.
Really nice. Love the accent border on the different pages.
Finished Will Heremes’s Love Goes to Buildings on Fire a few days ago. The proto-hip-hop street parties and the underground disco stuff were the most fun to read about for me. Since then I’ve been going through old disco playlists on Spotify. Lots of great stuff but I still never find anything that hits as hard as this Dinosaur L track. I knew before reading that David Byrne played guitar on it. I did not know that there was a real possibility of Arthur Russell joining Talking Heads. As far as bands that could have been that ranks up there with Richard Hell being an original member of Television.

One of the fun things about going to a Four Tet DJ set is guessing what Caribou/Daphni tracks he’ll play.
