Owen touched up on something about the length of blog posts. As I read his 3 paragraphs I think he's definitely correct about the length of post that I enjoy ...

http://www.brokenkode.com/3-paragraphs

The problem is that 2008 lacked focus for these areas, so it's time to provide them with a slight bit of structure. I doubt I'll be able to meet these ...

Today I was reminded that you cannot force design. You cannot force creativity. While thinking of something else the inspiration will strike. From my point of view, whenever I create ...

There is definitely something to be said about a slow burning design. At least from where I'm sitting. I started redesigning the 'Kode last week but the deal I made ...

http://www.brokenkode.com/design-slow-burn

Nothing new to add to the general conversation of redesigned website to be honest just that this is what has been going on with my thought process lately (ok from ...
