Lighting up the Cologne Cathedral
I've been lucky enough to see the Kölner Dom in real life while studying abroad in high school. I distinctly remember coming up from the train station and having my breath taken away by its imposing stature. At that time it was darkened and ominous. This new lighting by Licht Kunst Licht is fantastisch!
Behind the scenes making Wildwood
Saw Wildwood this weekend on the big screen and it was so very good. I can't wrap my head around the amount of time that went into making the stop motion film, and left the theater wanting to learn more. Saving this behind the scenes to enjoy at leisure and then queuing up LAIKA - Inspired by Portland, Made by Hand / hat tip to Darren Hester
Words I Looked Up
I casually made notes of new words off and on, but re-doubled my effort to start a proper collection with meaning and context after seeing Tracy Durnell's Weeknotes. I'm often finding recipes and music in her notes, and always linger around the section for new words she's looked up any particular week. Also of interest: How Tracy uses weeknotes as a tool for attention and action.
Grey Rocking
Adding to the list of words and concepts I've looked up: Grey Rocking is a technique to buffer annoying people by showing no emotion or interest, like a gray rock. / more on the matter at Esquire
Snail Box
Aegir made another thing and shared the vision, process and beautiful results. The finest of arts.
One Last Order
It's been happening with frequency of late... I get misty-eyed over the slightest thing. And sometimes, there are full-on tears. Not often that happens from a trailer, but here we are.
35 Simple Health Tips
Sometimes I feel inundated with lists of advice, and this one is almost too long... But it all feels reasonable and doable. I probably just need select items littered around on Post-It notes instead of a scrolling screen. / via Tim Bornholdt
Paper Mono
Not only is this monospaced font super nice, the overview page is filled with excellent details (movable vector points, magazine sample pages turn). Plus they've baked in a great set of alternate characters. / via Kyle Johnston
Phoebe Bridgers Sound Check
After reading other accounts and Scott Boms' latest Through Lines, I lament not catching Phoebe Bridgers when she rolled through Ohio in September. It sounds like a phenomenal experience. My hope is she extends the tour for another round in the States. This three song sound check will serve as a salve either way.

The Kitchen Drawer
A bunch of lists, tidbits and miscellany strewn about this site — a sitemap for things that get lost.
The Chapters of Your Life
This started as a presentation about intent and photography that my good friend Erik turned into a short film as a birthday surprise during the pandemic. It’s heavy, but I like to think in a good way.
Creative Mornings Talk
This video from 2013 is long, but lays out who I am and why I think design is awesome. I was nervous as heck through the whole thing.
My old website
I refuse to throw anything away (digitally at least). Here’s my old site cobbled together with spacer gifs and tables.
