Consider this the Merry Christmas edition. I've combed through the listings on Authentic Jobs and have hand-selected several listings below. Best wishes if you're looking for work over the holidays or thinking about changing employment.

GOOD is such a misnomer for a website with GREAT content and design. GOOD is looking for a Lead Web/Interaction Designer in the Los Angeles area. This is a killer opportunity to work with an incredible team, led by the venerable Greg Storey (West Coast...

If you're considering ordering one of my letterpress posters as a holiday gift, I recommend doing so soon. I have only about 40 remaining on hand, and I've already shipped a half-dozen of them this week. I won't be printing any more of this poster in 2009, as I'll be keeping Bryce's shop busy with another poster between now and the first of the year.

Happy holidays, everyone.

I was always throwing stuff together as a kid, like homemade go-karts, bike ramps, forts, and other stuff that substantiated my existence as a boy. Now with boys of my own, it's as if I'm remaking all that stuff again. Except it's even more fun with kids.

One of the projects we put together recently was a simple, cheap set of football/rugby uprights. In football (American), the uprights at either end of the playing field are similar to those used in rugby. Seeing how tomorrow is Thanksgiving ...

I've been doing designs for screened t-shirts on and off basically my entire career. Back in the day, Gildan and Hanes Beefy-T were popular choices for doing screened tee runs. The material was generally thick and beefy, and the fit was what you'd expect from a run-of-the-mill tee.

About four years ago American Apparel became mainstream and took the wholesale apparel industry by storm. The material was much lighter and the fit was more form-fitting. Printing a tee on American Apparel meant...

Last Thursday night we stopped in Albuquerque, New Mexico on our cross-country move to Florida. What was supposed to be an overnight stop has turned into a lengthy stay and a permanent change in our family's lifestyle.

One of our sons fell ill with the flu* soon after leaving Utah on Wednesday. By Thursday the flu had escalated and we found ourselves in the hospital by nightfall. On Friday the diagnosis was clear: Type 1 diabetes.

Our family knows very little about diabetes, but we're quickly b...

This should be my last Authentic Jobs-related post for a little while, but I've been working too hard on this contest not to mention it.

The Authentic Jobs "No Retweet Necessary" contest has an impressive bundle of prizes. You'll have the chance to win one of them not by retweeting or posting a comment or something else that provides you no benefit. You'll win by using the site in way that benefits you and only you.

When I do a formal contest such as this, I don't take it lightly. Some of the A...

This has been a long time coming. I won't say more than that right now, but I'll hopefully say lots more in the near future.

For now, have a look at the site. More details available on the Authentic Jobs blog.

Thanks especially to those of you who gave feedback on the proposed design way back when.

Yesterday's heavy snowfall here in Utah seems a fitting time to announce the Moll crew is moving to Florida. Again. Except this time around, it's long-term.

We move two weeks from today, and because of that things may be relatively silent around here for a little while. There is no shortage of chaos 'round the Moll household at the moment, as you might imagine.

We're headed to Sarasota, specifically Siesta Key, about 1 hour south of Tampa Bay on the gulf side of the state. We've flirted with t...

Written more than 6 years ago, my SitePoint article, "Good Designers Copy, Great Designers Steal", is still referenced from time to time as I chat with other designers by email, at conferences, and the like. It struck a chord with people -- whether positive, negative, or both -- and today that chord still hums.

I suppose it's because the topic isn't new, nor did I invent it. After all, I was quoting Pablo Picasso as the supposed source of the quote, and he died more than 35 years ago...
