The night sees me
I’ve taken to running recently at 10:00 at night. There’s something about running at night with no sun, no blaring music, no cars, and no people that creates bitter and beautiful stories in the darkness ahead of me. I hear the thumping of my sneakers on the pavement, the feeble scuff of my left toe [...]
Thunderstorms and home
Last night we hopped between parties during thunderstorm breaks and ended up at the PayPal party where the passes they’d given us to get in didn’t work, but our Google business cards did. Cool venue, dull party — that is, until I was cajoled into joining the other designers on the “dance floor.” The dance [...]
Days 1.5 - 2.5 in Austin
People seem happy here. I just ran into two Austin transplants (one from San Francisco and the other from Seattle) at one of the booths at the SXSW trade show. “It’s living in the city, but with none of the big city craziness,” one said. “There’s a million things to do all around Austin.” There [...]
From Austin, with love
Cabbies are the same the world over. I arrived at the Austin airport today to wait in a long cab line in which all the drivers were gesticulating furiously, despite the fact that as cabbies in Austin, their lives were pretty easy with wide roads, multiple lanes, no parked cars, and passengers who aren’t generally [...]

My megapixels are bigger than your megapixels
I read this great article the other day about the worthlessness of megapixels. Ok, it does matter when you’re using your old 2.0 megapixel Canon S200 and trying to crop and blow up 8×10 prints, but overall, megapixels don’t affect quality. I’ve been saying this all along. Fancy cameras and lots of megapixels don’t make [...]

Putting the chomp in cute
So it’s well into 2007 and I’ve set fire to the old blog (2003-2006, may it R.I.P.) to start anew here. This is not to say that I’m actually erasing all my past melodramatic rants and personal vendettas on Superlative Love — I mean c’mon guys, I might want to hark back on drama queen [...]
