Post I made internally at Automattic the other day: One of the oft-overlooked aspects of doing creative-type work (this includes developers and basically everyone at Automattic) is that we basically never stop. Working, that is. I’ve found that even when cruising mentally at a solid “I’m-at-the-mall-with-my-parents-and-my-kids” kind of…

Start writing real blog post (none of this Tumblr shit) Ooh, I should totally use a featured image. Head off to Flickr to find an image I’ve taken that I can use. There is no New York photoset. How do I not have a New York photoset? Create New…
Finish CSS issue X. Rethink how the entire bit X is a part of works. Change the entire bit X is a part of. Introduce new display issue Y separate from issue X. Dig through framework from top-down in order to figure out issue Y. This takes a while, like…

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the…

Hey, look you don’t need crappy graphics of maps and incoherent pie charts to do an info graphic, just a lot of interest in the data and what it means. Also the Quantified Self nerd in me loves shit like this. I’d eat it for fucking breakfast if…
