It is easy to get caught up in the deadlines and urgency within one’s day. However now that spring has arrived, I find it equally important to carve time out to enjoy the nice weather and attractions that a quick walk to the Embarcadero provides.

I spend 5 days a week in arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world – yet so infrequently do I actually see what so many folks travel thousands of miles each year to see. Lately I have been taking quick walks to the Embarcadero with co-worker @JFP as a way to get [...]
Los Compadres is a source of both inspiration and food coma… While unpredictable as to which will be my outcome – it is the best Mexican food within a multiple block radius of CBS Interactive and a gamble I take weekly.
Tonight marked a week since I last spent time with my neighbor who was tragically killed along with his girlfriend in a car accident while traveling in Thailand. I spent this week really thinking about how fragile life is, and quickly it can end or circumstances can change. Dennis & I were not especially close, [...]
So often us designers look to various sources of inspiration to apply to our work. Like most, I do look at the many design and CSS showcase sites to see what my peers are up to. This of course, is plenty inspiring. However simply paying attention to the small details that can be found all [...]
