@DenetraWalker @kelliboling @MacAejmc @AEJMC Congrats! That’s awesome.

My wife and I voted. The poll workers were all wearing masks, but only about half of the voters. Voting is part of your civic duty. So is wearing a mask.

Take a second and vote for Southside. My brother-in-law is the head coach and it would mean the world to his team. twitter.com/helmet_sc/stat…

@keyjbrown I really like Overcast. apps.apple.com/us/app/overcas…

I was up early this morning and stumbled across George Bush’s speech to the nation during the LA Riots 28 years ago. It’s interesting to watch this with 2020 eyes. youtube.com/watch?v=ynoZY1…

Just watched the Crew Dragon launch with the family. Amazing! So happy for @SpaceX and @NASA.

Sometimes, I wonder which Bond villain is behind 2020.

@gedeon I just found a bunch of Mask toys in my attic a couple of weeks ago. They were some of my favorites when I was a kid, too.

@ismh Are you and @jsnell going to do a live watch like you did when Falcon Heavy launched?

A pop-up tropical storm forming right off the coast is very 2020. #Bertha

I’m excited about NASA’s return to human spaceflight this week. @lorengrush has a great summary of what to expect over at The Verge. theverge.com/2020/5/26/2126…

@Theaprilblake @daviddeweil Can we challenge them to not post on Facebook for 10 days?

The ability to place one InDesign document into another InDesign document seems stupid… until you need it. And then, it’s completely awesome.

Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan is pretty much a perfect movie.

It occurs to me that 20+ years of graphic design competitions were the perfect preparation for academic conference paper rejections.

I finally got around to posting my list of Columbia blogs and podcasts at ColaContent.com. But I know I’m missing a bunch. Who should I add to the list?

I thoroughly enjoyed The Aleph Extraction. Preordered back in January and it arrived last week. A great follow up to his first two books. If you are looking for a fun, spy thriller – that happens to take place in space – this is the series for you. twitter.com/dmoren/status/…

Making and using variable type: sketchbookb.com/journal/2020/5…

The kids made avocado toast with eggs and fruit for Liz for Mother’s Day this morning. They did the whole thing themselves. t.co/gxJCyOFBm…

Norah’s pretty much serving as chef. Jill’s her sous chef. And Ryan is making the coffee. (I’m supervising from a distance.)

Listening to the kids debating the presentation of the meal they are making for Liz for Mother’s Day. They watch too many cooking shows. 🤣

Friday night fun with fonts. I just used Glyphs to export my first variable typeface with two axes. I’ve still got some adjustments to make before I release it, but I’m happy with how the file works in Illustrator.

@KimWellmanSC Thanks, Kim. (And after all of this is over, we need to grab lunch and catch up.)

@pastormtitus Definitely part of it. I also really want to design an awesome case for it.
