I’m sitting here in Seattle’s in downtown Wooster, where I came first thing this morning to start scouring the web for info on Laura. We just found out she’s OK, and as a result I’m sitting here with my first-ever decaf coffee in my hand. This one’s for you, chica.

I just got word that Laura checked in with the US Consulate at 4AM our time. She’s fine — shaken but fine. Now I’m just waiting to hear from her. Thank you, Lord, for answering our prayers. This is the best Christmas present I could have ever hoped for.

No sooner did I post that, then I swung by Shana’s weblog and saw that she was OK. Whew. OK, so half of my missing friends are okay, and we’re on high watch duty for the other one. Please keep Laura in your prayers, OK?

Hey, all. I know some of you aren’t of the praying variety, but for those of you that are, please extend your prayers for Shana West and Laura Thomas, two of my friends who were in Thailand this morning when the disaster struck. Neither of them has been heard from yet, as far as I […]

Yesterday, my friend Sara was horrified – horrified – that my Christmas shopping wasn’t finished. In fact, I had barely even started it. In fact, I hadn’t bought a single thing. She was also appalled that I wasn’t that stressed out about it. Today, I did my Christmas shopping. All of it. Granted, there was […]

This includes things like client gigs, Christmas cards, Christmas shopping, etc. I was feeling overwhelmed until I read this interview with comics author Grant Morrison, wherein Mr. […]

There’s a fascinating article in the January MIT Technology Review called “A New Idea for Publishing“, in which John Battelle suggests a system by which publishers can pick and choose from an array of advertisers. Definitely worth future research.

If you’re a friend of mine who reads this weblog and has some time and initiative, I’m rapidly coming to realize that I simply can’t run the new Inkblots as a one-person shop. If you want to join our new rapidly-forming editorial board, email me with a pitch – your would-be job title and description. […]

I would actually really like the phrase “Microsoft Design” to not be an oxymoron. For the purposes of the democratization of great design and the global imporvement of the quality of life that should result, the notion that the world’s biggest software company (and most pervasive) could also become a leader in that particular mission […]

While I was either away or lost in The Seas of Busy, Mike Davidson turned 30, I turned 27 and my friend and Inkblots alum Emily Anne Leachman also turned… Um… Something. Personally, I feel like 27 is going to be the beginning of my Golden Age. I don’t know why, but I seriously feel […]
