Chess Set v1
Over the past COVID afflicted year, I’ve spent countless hours learning 3D design and printing. I find that the best way to both teach and learn new skills is to take on a project with a tangible outcome––in an area the student is passionate about. For me, this was the perfect chess set. I wanted…

Context Queries in CSS
Media queries are firmly established methods for serving custom experiences based on the media being used to access content. However, there’s no way to an experience based on the context being used.

Phone as mobile’s days are numbered
The portrait-oriented, single column design approach that’s become so dominant since the advent of smart phones can only last for so long.

Pizza is all about context
People who debate about whether or not this or that pizza is the best in the world are missing the point. Pizza is all about context. It’s different in different places because it needs to be. It reflects the unique lifestyle of a particular area. Here’s how I see the two styles I’m most familiar…

Contrast is the new context, which was the new content, which was the new format
In the beginning, format was king. The mere fact that we were reading something on the web made it important. It had somehow come to occupy this new medium, which in itself was novel and beautiful and confusing. Whoever put it there had to be smart, and therefore the content as well. Then, at some…
