Design as communication between technical and non-technical people

November 14th, 2011

One of the interesting things about web design is the number of fields into which it reaches.

A community that had love

October 23rd, 2011

It's been a week now since our dear Neighbors Abbey "officially" ended. Kiera and I were part of this faith community for the last couple of years, and recently the circumstances of many folks involved with it made it such that it couldn't continue in the capacity that it had, and so it ended as an official church. Now, we've been through the endings of churches that we loved before.

The tension of Apple and justice

October 11th, 2011

Like most designers on the web, I mourned at the news of the death of Steve Jobs.

Creating ways to digest online content

The 9/11 Narrative

September 11th, 2011

I didn't plan on writing about 9/11 this year. I wrote about it last year (and in 2001, linking to the article I tracked down last year, though my thoughts from back then are lost in a Comic Sans archive of messiness), and I assumed I wouldn't have more to say this year. But while I still believe that the September 2001 article I reposted from the vocalist of Ballydowse is the best response to the event, I think there are words to be said about our national response since then, and it is those I decided to give attention to.

Design of baby changing surfaces

August 27th, 2011

As I expected, I've been learning a lot about baby products the past several months, and how they are designed.

The web is spilling out into the real world

July 9th, 2011

Recently, the fine folks at Homebrewed Christianity started asking guests, and also listeners, to talk about the biggest challenge facing American religion.

Google Plus, and design as problem solving

July 2nd, 2011

As you may know, Google has opened up limited access to its new social network, Google Plus.

Baby delivery and user experience design

June 8th, 2011

As you may know, my wife and I recently had our first child, a daughter.

First hopes for fatherhood

May 25th, 2011

I became a father the other day. It's all quite surreal, still, so I'm really not sure what to think about it in any immediate sense.
