That’s right! After 8 years in Miami, I’ll be making my way to Palo Alto, CA to join Andrew Chen (@andrew_chen) and company. I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity and I am humbled to be welcomed into such an amazing team.
Needless to say, leaving Scrapblog was a very difficult decision for me. Scrapblog [...]
The winners have been announced and Scrapblog has taken not one, but two Adobe MAX awards in both the RIA category and the coveted People’s Choice Award! We could not be more excited about this. We’ve had our eye on this prize since the birth of Scrapblog and we can finally check that off our [...]
Brenda Brathwaite (whose blog should be a staple in any game designer’s feed reader) and Ian Schreiber (who’s blog I have not read, and who’s feed I can’t seem to subscribe to) have just finished a new book entitled Challenges For Game Designers. I just pre-ordered a copy and I’m excited to check it out. [...]
Tick has been spotted in the pages of two new UI design books. The Web Designers Idea Book from Design Meltdown, and Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks by Luke Wroblewski (forward by Jared Spool).

I can’t say that I was a huge fan of CommandShift3 upon first impression, but I may have changed my tune a bit. Why? Seems as though Scrapblog, Tick, and Mikegowen.com have been doing quite well. I’m not one to toot my own horn, but since this blog is partly an archive of my achievements, [...]
Just wanted to thank everyone who came out to RefreshMiami last night. I had a great time presenting and I’m glad that the non-designer types were able to get something out of it. Special thanks to Books and Books for being very accommodating and for supplying an absolutely perfect venue. I have a feeling we’ll [...]
Well, its not much to look at right now, but hey, its a start. I decided to toss up an out-of-the-box Wordpress install so I can docment the plethora of events I will be attending over the next few weeks. Eventually this will be fully skinned, but for now this will have to do. [...]
