Puma’s lace-up moccasin design is brilliant. You can tie loose knots to speed through airport security or you can tighten them up for more support. Plus, they look like something Doc Brown brought back from 2015.
I might get a pair to match this blog. Consistent branding is key in the future.

Got “Inbox Zero” handled? How about “RSS Zero”?

“Inbox Zero” is hard for most people, presumably because they’re forced to use Outlook (the horror!), Entourage (also horror!), or pretty much any mail client except Gmail. It was hard for me too until Gmail’s “archive” button and its excellent search allowed me to banish clutter from my sight without negative consequences. I suspect [...]

Few people are comfortable opening their kimono, dropping trou, and going commando when it comes to their web traffic data. What’s the big deal? If your traffic is small, tell your readers a story about how you’re trying to grow. If you’re huge, revel in it. Of course, it may be embarrassing to some older [...]

I spent 6 years of my 20s as a web designer at an financial services company in L.A. The people were good, the work was occasionally not horrible, and the pay was better than I thought I would ever get with a BA in History, but I had a problem. My portfolio was crap.
For too [...]

The backlog of blog posts “I’ll get to eventually” is ridiculous. I write ideas on 3×5 cards as they pop in my head. Over time I’ve had to scale up the one bulldog clip to rule them all from tiny, to small, to medium, to “holy crap when am I ever gonna write all these!?!”
