Things I wrote
-
I spent my Sunday afternoon reading Ethan Marcotte's new book <em>Responsive Design: Patterns & Principles</em>, much of it in front of a fire, under a blanket, gobbling up the words as fast as I could. It was a great way to spend a Sunday. And I'm grateful to Ethan for sharing his wisdom with us yet again.

A few weeks ago, I went to the comic shop and I picked up <em>Captain Marvel</em> by Kelly Sue DeConnick. The author, in particular, came highly recommended.
-
It takes place in Iceland in the 1820s, when Iceland was still a part of Denmark (which I did already know since I work with a Dane), and is about a woman who is sentenced to die for killing two men.
-
I still have moments of self doubt, over and over again, ten years into building things on the web.
-
2015, for many reasons, has been really tough year for me. I've had a hard time having hope.
-
I finally picked up the first volume of <em>Injection</em> by Warren Ellis. I am a <em>huge</em> Ellis fan, as I've been working my way through all the comics he's written and I'd heard good things on the Twitters about this latest series so I was excited to read it.
-
I don't know about you, but I like food, and I <em>really</em> like cooking good food. So I often spend weekend afternoons reading cookbooks. I'm usually getting ideas, planning what I want to cook in my head, and daydreaming about the perfect pantry and kitchen set up.
-
It took me a while, I came back to it after leaving it, but I finished <em>Hild</em> yesterday morning.
-
I am a dog lover, through and through. And a few weeks ago when standing in the Powell's on Hawthorne, I saw Mary Oliver's <em>Dog Songs</em> and had to have it. It's a slim volume, mostly made up of poems, but there are a few short essays as well. And it is lovely.
-
My friend Jonathan Snook recently wrote and asked what does success look like. He's also been tweeting quite a bit about it as well and it got me to thinking.
-
<em>The Glass Sentence</em> by S.E. Grove is a great rollicking adventure featuring the story of Sophia, the niece of one of the renowned cartologers of her age. The world has gone through a great disruption and it has thrown all the various places on Earth into different time periods.
-
This was not an earth shattering book, but it was a really great story to get lost in as we began our vacation.
-
In the process of making Paper work for the iPhone, FiftyThree was actually quite daring, they rethought the entire app and so with the new version there were quite a few changes on the iPad version as well.
-
I finished China Miéville's <em>Embassytown</em> the other night just before going to sleep. This was yet another book where for the first part I wasn't too sure what I was reading, but wow, the end grabbed me and I couldn't put it down.
-
Last weekend I finally read the first volume of <em>Low</em>, an interesting series that is set far into the future where the sun is actually burning up the surface of the earth, so all the people have moved into the depths of the Ocean.
