It's easy for me to lose sight of why I create art, why I share design, why I use the curiosity and creativity as a human to put things out into the world.

Seven years ago I set a daily goal of 1,000 words.

I forget a lot.

As a small child, I thought all my friends had the cool parents.

Every human being has a spark inside of them.

I have a few recurring topics.

I'm excited about the iPhone Duo.

Artists are drawn to make, to create, to envision something from nothing (or something from another thing).

It's beginning.

I've tried not to make this a breaking-news, tech-style blog.

I've long struggled to keep ideas floating in my head without interruption.

That's the message I've heard many times throughout my life.

I don't know how to meditate.

It might be the world I'm swimming in, but it feels like a lot of people are starting to build apps.

I'm excited.

Last night I was up late working on a project for work.

You push so hard for so long, and at some point you look up and wonder why you've been expending your energy.

Over the last month I've done a lot more reading.

Next month Apple will be coming out with new phones.

I was talking with a friend recently about what it takes to make software successful.

When you first start your career you quickly realize that much of your work depends on execution.

With all the AI tools available to us, it seems that a designer has no need for the archaic, simple, not auto-completing, software of the past.

Maybe it's happened to you.

I was recently listening to a podcast episode from Cal Newport, where they outlined AI rules for developers.
