I am SO pumped with where this has ended up so far:

✅ Finalized Skuemorphic Audio Recorder/Editor
✅ Moved all graphics to device screen
☑️ Create the visual algorithm for generate mode
☑️ Allow people to signup and make their own

Finished up the first demo for my talk next month.

Goal is to give an intro to generative design by progressively adding more "generative" features and explaining why we need them.

Taste lives at the intersection of creation and consumption.

Consumption broadens possibilities. Creation sharpens it.

This back and forth refines your intuition for what matters.

📣 Attention agency workers, owners, subcontractors, and freelancers:

I'm in customer interview mode for our new product. I would love to have an open ended conversation with you about what tools you use, and how they could be better. Reply to this or email me at [email protected] if interested ❤️

Having a kitchen doesn’t make you a chef.

The number of creative AI tools is exploding. They can feel like creative superpowers, but it is still your job to put in the reps. You can’t generate taste.

I'm launching a blog. In 2025. After saying blogging was dead. I was wrong!!!

Journalists and writers like @andydehnart.com and @maliha.site have shown me how wrong I was about this.

I think I need some sound effects though. Also some real sprites.

How do the best stories hook you immediately?

I read A LOT of fiction, and it all comes down to the same thing.

Engaging stories hook you with one compelling character before introducing anything else that would be a distraction.

This rule applies to more than just writing.

What else am I missing to take podcast production to the next level?

Starting to invest more into the podcast with Ali. Spent some time this morning setting up a template for transcription and description generation based on our tone.

The line between design & code are blurring.

But traditional career paths force you to pick a lane:

"I only write code"
"I'm just the designer"
"That's not my department"
"Someone else handles that part"

But what if…
