Pretty sweet song shot in my hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. Kinda funny how it starts out though: “make some noise if you’re from a town with less than 100,000 people.” Madison is more than twice that and doesn’t feel all that “small towny” to me. If you’re from Brooklyn though, I get it. (The video […]

From the good folks at mya-moe ukuleles. And the process pictures. Can’t wait to get it in the mail.

Not too far apart from every other startup: Small passionate team Trying to advance science and technology for the good of the world Tackling huge problems Great logo from day one Questionable legality Fuzzy business model

The AA rebrand seems pretty ubiquitously loved. I like it myself. I’m sure it has a lot to do with the really nice presentation of the launch page, despite some traffic load hiccups.

I’m doing The Pastry Box Project this year. I’ll have an article a month. My first one was published, which I’ll re-post below. I just sent them another one too. I like the style over there. Kind of think-y experiential posts that I normally wouldn’t probably write, but do enjoy it. I wish everyone in […]

#1) Glenn Yarbrough has the worlds weirdest voice. It’s my strongest memory from the old cartoon Hobbit: #2) If you compare the old Hobbit cartoon movie to the new one in theaters now, I wonder which aspects J. R. R. Tolkien would have considered closest to his original vision. The new film is likely much […]

My custom ukulele from Mya-Moe has begun contruction and the progress can be tracked. And the first build shot Aaron Keim sent me:

I had a cool moment today of using my own product. Someone sent me an email referencing a CSS-Tricks snippet about fonts that they were having trouble with specifically on iOS. I used the CodePen bookmarket to quickly move it over into a Pen. To get some text to look at, I typed “lorem”-TAB. In […]
