Portraits of kids are all the same. There may be a lot of them out there, but in the end, they are all just a variation on the same happy theme – a commentary that kids are always smiling and laughing. I think we do them an injustice by painting them this way. This hasContinue Reading
Happy New Years! 2012 may be the end of the world, so I figured I better start getting my act together. It’s time for a New Year’s resolution. I’m not really into this type of stuff so I figure I’d better make it nice and simple. There’s a lot of things I want to doContinue Reading
As you probably already know, I am now working at Evernote as a User Interface Designer. So far, it has been nothing short of fantastic. They are a class act organization and I’m super glad to be working with everyone there (here?). A few days ago, CNN Money was in the office. They just releasedContinue Reading

A good friend and mentor, Brian Pikalow, once explained to me that humans are a lot like containers. We can only hold so much before we eventually get so bloated that we either can’t move or we explode. There’s a simple fix to this and it’s rather simple (not to be confused with easy). ForContinue Reading
