stop being so damn good
sometimes just a random google search will leave me overwhelmed (and thoroughly discouraged) by the creativity of all these designers around the world. sometimes it feels like i can’t open my eyes wide enough to take everything in. i wish i could take a mental picture of everything i’ve ever thought was amazing (design-wise) and keep it in my head to pull out whenever i wanted to help...

w.t.f.
thoughts that have been rattling around in my brain: 1. Where the hell did the word “unsightly” come from? Obviously it’s the opposite of “sightly” but “sightly” is such a freaking lazy word. It’s like that Mitch Hedberg joke about naming things after what they do, like toaster. 2. How weird is it that we see a continuous scene even though our nose...
