2016’s been a hell of a year. Here’s A Little Levity on The Interconnected that looks at some of the weirder bits of the year.
Now on The Interconnected: Documenting the Core
In Documenting the Core, I wrote about the core values that are used for design, and the methodology, principles, and design decisions, and why I’ll be writing more about them in the future.
Now on The Interconnected: The familiar road may not be the smoothest

Now on The Interconnected: Cuckoos and connections
I am honored to be the author of the first post on a new website, The Interconnected. Styled a bit after The Pastry Box and a bit after goals of our own, Dylan Wilbanks, Elaine Nelson, and I built The Interconnected to be a place to discuss how we connect to each other and how, as connected people, we tie into the web. You can read more about our goals.
My first post, Cuckoos and Connections, discusses the expectations that we set for each other — and the way that every one of us, in some way, breaks someone else’s expectations.
Now on A List Apart: Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, we all had problems trying to figure out what the best way to set context for communications were.
