What's not to love?

Look, I'm a fan of web, ePub and the whole Brave New World of publishing. But books that manage to transcend the expected and emerge as mechanical art objects are reminders that, technology be damned, there's a special place for print.

This is Our Fault

I refuse to be embarrassed by the result of tonight’s election. Why? Because it’s our fault. Mine. Yours. All of us like-minded individuals who see the amendment for what it is — a tacit, constitutional endorsement of bigotry.

May 2012 Wallpaper

May Day, Mayday. Obviously, I've been doing way too much design work if I'm drawn to something as graphic as the fatigued side of this boat.

April 2012 Wallpaper

Work that hasn't seen the light of day yet. But I've been using this on my personal machine for a long time. A very long time it seems.

March 2012 Wallpaper

Since the days are getting longer this shot felt right. I took this in either the Grand Tetons or Yellowstone. At that time of the morning, it's hard to recall.

February 2012 Wallpaper

Why is this a great February wallpaper? I don't really know. Maybe the Cherub statue could be mistaken for Cupid? Maybe I'm trying to make up for putting barbwire up last February?

January 2012 Wallpaper

Can't believe I just wrote "2012." And with this post, it looks like the wallpapers will continue for another year. What to start a year with?

December 2011 Wallpaper

It's rare to get a sincere snow here. By sincere I mean, the kind where you wake up in the morning, look out your window and are treated to a completely different landscape. Everything changes. So to close out 2011, here's to a nice snowy winter. . .

I have no idea why this one jumped out at me. . . but here it is.

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish

I think it's safe to say that I wouldn't be self-employed today if it weren't for Apple. Everything around here runs on Apple hardware and operating systems. Apple builds the tools that let me do the work I want to do. So thanks Steve. For everything.
