THe personal website of Chris Glass
I use too much punctuation, probably wrong — across a photo journal, collection of links, (& other random stuff).

Some Places to Start
About me
A quick intro.
The Kitchen Drawer
A bunch of lists, tidbits and miscellany strewn about this site — a sitemap for things that get lost.
The Chapters of Your Life
This started as a brief presentation about intent and photography that my good friend Erik turned into a short film as a birthday surprise during the pandemic.
Creative Mornings Talk
This video from 2013 is long, but lays out who I am and why I think design is awesome. I was nervous as heck through the whole thing.
My old website
I refuse to throw anything away (digitally at least). Here’s my old site cobbled together with spacer gifs and tables.
Recent Links
LogoArchive.Now
Founded by designer and writer Richard Baird, Logo Archive began in 2015 as an Instagram account to document modernist logos. It has since expanded and this latest branch opens up the doors for all designers to participate. It's mesmerizing, overwhelming and inspiring. Also? I bristle a wee bit when color pops onto the grid.
Klack
I swear this little 5 dollar macOS utility has increased my productivity. (It adds customizable key click sounds when you're typing.) Seriously, I enjoy typing more now. And for the record I did try a mechanical keyboard and while nice it was too tall. / via DF
Standard Ebooks
"A volunteer-driven project that produces new editions of public domain ebooks that are lovingly formatted, open source, free of U.S. copyright restrictions, and free of cost." Love a well formatted trove! / via James
Dear David Bryne, Thank You.
This message from John Pavlovitz in Row G, Seat 112 resonated as I felt the same abundance of feelings and optimism after seeing this tour. (I didn't sum it up near as eloquently.)
RYBitten
This exploration of color by David Aerne is both elegant and extremely interactive. Poke around the Gamut Preset section, each expands into deeper explorations of pigment mixing, HSL modeling, expandable swatches, rotating sphere view and then some. / via Scott Bom's Through Lines
25 years of equal marriage coin
25 years ago, the Netherlands was the first country in the world to open marriage to same-sex couples. To celebrate they've issued commemorative Euros designed by Koos Breen using type from an LGBTQ designer, MD Nichrome by Rutherford Craze.
Edge of Destiny 360°
I previously shared a 360° video of Weekend Update, but this sketch from SNL is a more entertaining use of the technology (that I can't get to work on adblocked Safari, but could in Firefox. YMMV)
Knitting Bullshit
Saving this to share with Kelley. When I first read Kate Davies' piece about AI about knitting, I got lost backtracking through all the prose and photography of her website — it's all so very good. This piece about slop and what matters is a lovely foray. / via Metafilter
Liminal Bingo
I struggle with prompt challenges, but these whacky notions by artist Pat Perry for a group photo hunt is joy inducing. / hat tip to Meredith for the find
