I did a fun interview with Gayla Trail of You Grow Girl about my burgeoning orchid habit. Check it!

iPhone The Book

In Apple, Elsewhere, Writing, iPhone on 26 August 2007 with Comments Off

It was my pleasure to donate a few stories and photos to Ethan Bodnar’s printed retrospective of the most anticipated Apple product ever: iPhone: The Book. I got my copy a few days ago and it’s beautiful. It will serve as a fun reminder of the wild ride that was the iPhone launch.

In May I participated in AssignmentZero’s Interview Week. The stories have been making their way online at Wired.com this week, and today mine went up! Check it.
Exploring the Dark Side of Crowdsourcing

In ALA: Where am I?

In Design, Elsewhere, Writing on 8 August 2006 with Comments Off

Whoops, I did it again. I let a long-simmering annoyance with some quirk of current web design spill over into a rant that the kind folks at awesome web design rag A List Apart, enablers that they are, were kind enough to publish. Some will call it obvious, but if it was so obvious, it […]

What Would Google Do?

In Design, Elsewhere, Google, Writing on 15 May 2006 with Comments Off

Google and I, we’re old friends. I’ve written about them here and there for years. Google, as a web innovator, has done just about everything right.
But as a designer, I’m tired of hearing clients and associates ask, “What would Google do?” as if every move they make is pure gold. When it comes to visual/exerience […]

Calling All Designers: Learn to Write!

In Design, Elsewhere, Writing on 9 May 2006 with Comments Off

I recently had the good fortune to work with a client who asked me to, in addition to doing my usual experience design / visual design thing, also write much of the text that appeared on the site. And it made me realize that I’ve often done this for clients - it just wasn’t an […]

My story of faith and doubt, Wrestling with an Angel, which originally appeared in Fray, has been republished this week in JewsWeek, a fine web magazine for the hip young Jew. Check it out!

Speaking of Heather, she’s […]

A couple bits of me out there in the ethernet….
The Campfire Makes a Comeback
A great story in SF Station by Nirmala Nataraj about the storytelling revival that’s been going on the last 30 years. In some ways, Fray is a rebellion against traditional, fictional storytelling, but I’m almost relieved the story didn’t get into that.

Plays Well with Others

In Elsewhere on 14 April 2004 with Comments Off

I’ve had the pleasure to contribute to two other sites recently, and it’s really so much more fun than talking to myself here.
I’ve been reading TeeVee for years - it’s the best writing about the idiot box anywhere. So what a pleasure it is to see a little something I wrote published there. It really […]
