Lesson of the day no matter how long you’ve been doing something is always remember to periodically SAVE. I was in a flow state while illustrating. Finally happy with the finished result. Went to go save the file and Adobe Illustrator crashed. #thoughts and #prayers

#Deepseek AI has my attention, but I’m still weighing the risks. The open-weight approach is interesting, but questions around training data, bias, and real-world impact remain. If you’ve used it, what’s your take? Is it delivering on its promise? #AI #tech

Went to a local video game shop today because it’s been a while since I’ve seen the sun. Managed to not find one, but two titles that I’ve been hunting for. Case, disc and manual all intact and in excellent condition at reasonable prices. #lucky #retroGaming

Designers, dedicate the first and best hours of your day to yourself. Too often, I see designers putting themselves last, giving their side projects only the leftover energy after a full day of work. Begin each day by working on your dream. This small commitment will transform your life.

I’ve officially reached the point where my TBR pile required a full reading program in Notion to manage. On one hand, I feel accomplished. On the other, I’m a little bitter there’s no personal pan pizza reward for this kind of effort. #ReadingIsFundamental #Pizza

Routines build momentum, turning small actions into big wins over time. But it’s wild how easily one hiccup can knock them off track. Give yourself space to reset and start again. It’s not about never falling—it’s about always getting back up.

Did anyone else have trouble following “Neuromancer” by William Gibson? I’m curious if all of the media/ideas spawned from this book that I’ve previously consumed is affecting or negatively informing my experience reading it. #cyberpunk #readingIsFundamental

Spending the tail end of my 2024 working through my to-be-read stack of books. Currently reading the “Somewhere Out There: My Animated Life” from Don Bluth. I could use the distraction. #IdRatherBeReading #animation

I get the fact you that some books about history and industrial design are somewhat pricey. An author should be compensated for their effort and aim aware publishers and resellers are likely to markup a price. When a ten year old book is selling for $432 - $2566 USD, there’s a problem.

Let’s shake it up, #recruiters. Generic rejections are boring! I’m a problem solver by nature and a designer by choice. Turn those responses into a murder mystery. Lay clues, traps, and puzzles. I may not get the job, but I’ll solve the case of Mrs. Havershim’s murder! #changeForTheBetter
