Austin, TX
We drove among switchbacks through the clouds to find ourselves with bright blue skies and the the out-of-this-world Haleakala Crater.

Views from the Hawaiian skies. 1 - Maui, wind turbines in the west. 2 - Oahu, Diamond Head Crater in Honolulu.

Some snapshots of our short time in Honolulu + flight sunset. // After two full days… waiting in the airport, waiting on the tarmac, back in the airport, night in a hotel, and then waiting again in the airport — we made it to Hawaii! Really appreciate the consideration for s…

Had a flashback last night to the mention of "AOL Keyword: Nick" at the end of every @Nickelodeon commercial from my childhood. What a time.

Visiting my childhood home for a week, after nearly 2 years (thanks Covid!). Kicked it off with a walk along the docks before hurricane/tropical storm Henri rolled in later that night. Missed this place, it’s good to be back!

Reading The Handmaid's Tale and this quote stood out to me last night, given current times: "There is more than one kind of freedom... Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don’t underrate it."

If you read into it like I did: the days of anarchy were our normal lives, out and about. But now many of us are privileged enough to (i.e. have the freedom to) refrain, stay home, and be safe.

Hey designers! I'm looking for public examples of design languages, pattern libraries, and UI kits. So far I have @ibmdesign, @Mailchimp, @lonelyplanet, etc. Which others I should check out?

That feeling when you don't recognize about 99.6% of the bands playing at #SXSW2019. Summoning @no_cassandra for guidance!
