Playdate time, diamorphic design, the art of discouragement, and finding your muse

Each week I share my top five posts from the last week. I’m sharing this a bit early. Thank you, and as always feedback is appreciated.

• Testing the Playdate - I finally got my hands on a Playdate and share my initial observations. Currently I’m on the hunt for a killer game.
• Embracing AI skeptically - Following on my friend Greg’s thoughts on AI and where it can fit into my creative process.
• Diamorphic design - We’re entering a new era of design. I don’t think flat icons are going anywhere, but there may be opportunities to add a little more delight into the things we create.
• The art of discouragement - Creativity should be encouraged. Too often we feel the need to critique.
• Finding your muse - In this week’s episode of Async I shared thoughts on where writing fits in and finding the point of it all.
