Huge thanks to Huge for sending me a copy of Huge Moves, “an editorially independent magazine focused on the design and technology trends shaping the future of business.” I will spend some time reading it.

My friend informed me about the insane deal from A Book Apart: buy 20 paperbacks for $100. Yesterday, I created a collection just for A Book Apart. My order is out for delivery. I will spend the next few months or the entire year reading books from A Book Apart.

When someone from a high-profile organization reached out to me for a potential consulting project, of course I was skeptical. I assumed they tried to spam me—it was too good to be true. I ignored their message, but they followed up. Their email seemed legit; therefore, I did some research and they turned out to be who they claimed to be. I took on the project. Although I cannot share anything, I am excited about the opportunity to work for a company I have admired and respected.
