Posting Mobile

Jul. 22, 2008 in blog, mobile

No lengthy witticisms, no in depth analysis, no lovely designs. Just my first test post from the new Wordpress app for the iPhone.

So far only one little problem: when I’m writing a new post and tap into categories, once I’m…

Me & /message

Jul. 6, 2008 in blog, personal

I failed to mention a pretty important event in my online life a couple weeks ago. Without us actually knowing each other at all, Stowe Boyd invited me to not only redesign his blog, /message (I did mention that), but he…

Must. Blog. This.

Apr. 18, 2008 in blog, linkage

A discussion (in German) the other day in the foyer of Sinnerschrader (translated into English for my readers).

Question: What Sucks?

Jun. 5, 2007 in blog

Reboot was inspiring and gave me plenty of new blogs to learn from. This led pretty quickly to my suppressed dissatisfaction with my own blog rising to the surface. As is generally the rule for all agencies and designers, you…

Hurry Up & Wait

Oct. 14, 2006 in blog, travel

Despite sleeping in, eating breakfast at our leisure, taking two long hot showers, and finally, after all of that, packing our huge bag, my lady and I are sitting around, waiting.

This evening at half past nine, we’re flying to Australia.…
