Curt Wozniak
Writer
Curt Wozniak, Writer, is no relation to the Apple co-founder Wozniak. If he were, he wouldn't need a job. (Still, Curt's brother bears a striking resemblance. Ask to see the photos. It's weird.) Before we scouted, roped, and hauled him in, Curt was a perfectly happy journalist, investigating, interviewing and writing about rock 'n' roll, infant care, architecture, history, fresh produce, movers, shakers, and stuff he probably wouldn't publish under his legal name. Somewhere along the line he fell for a designer, and that cracked open an interesting new world for him. Once he began writing for designers and about design, we were hooked. We had to have him. A little creative storytelling and some light extortion, and soon Woz was writing his beautiful copy for our best clients. We keep telling him how happy he is. And he's starting to believe it. Don't ever tell him otherwise, okay? When he's not writing or tearing up the city's infrastructure on his bright red Moped, he's busy making a life with Shelly and Hoot and Ben.

Inspired by Mark Hurst’s book, Bit Literacy, I tracked down the author and engaged him the way he suggests we all engage the various bit streams that inundate us with information every day: head-on and purposefully. Here’s how it went down… Curt: Where did the idea for the book come from? Mark: Everyone’s going to end up with [...]
Bye-bye, bits
I once worked for a company that installed a new email server every time the volume of messages in the system got too high for the old server to handle. For a small company doing business in the Information Age this way, such an upgrade can become an annual event. At the time, it was encouraging [...]
