Photo of a NYC Halloween Voter sticker with a drawing of a pigeon wearing a witch's hat carrying a jack-o-lantern candy pumpkin in its beak. Silhouettes of bats and a witch also appear. The text reads "HALLOWEEN VOTER 2025". There are also small white ghosts and Vote NYC logos.

Voted early again this year but didn’t make the rookie mistake of not voting on Halloween this time. Sure, they give stickers to all voters, but none can match the cool factor of the coveted Halloween sticker!

I realized that it was a year ago this week when I loaded my former sailboat on a trailer. While I miss sailing as frequently as I did when i had my own boat, it was wonderful not having to think about hauling a boat out this fall.

Kick back, relax and take in Ethan Zuckerman’s thoughts on the Internet’s Original Sin. Be prepared, it’s long read, but a good one.

I especially liked his definition of investor storytime:

Investor storytime is when someone pays you to tell them how rich they’ll get when you finally put ads on your site.

This article was inspired, in part, by The Internet With a Human Face, Maciej Cegłowski’s lecture–another worthy read.

Two good articles: One holds that designers shouldn’t code, while the other argues that designers should learn some code. For the most part, the “code” referred to here is HTML/CSS, not PHP/Ruby/Java etc.

As a designer, I think it’s important to have enough working knowledge of front end code to do some in-browser design. Especially when attempting responsive design.
