Just another day in ol' Brad Frost's inbox.

What are you all using to store, tag, and organize useful links these days?

OH MAN, we're going to be announcing some big stuff next week. We'll be announcing things on our newsletter first, which you can sign up to here: bradfrost.com/newsletter/

Thrilled to dig into AI and Design Systems at Carnegie Mellon University this evening! There's a lot to cover!

I just described Slack as "ICQ for grown-ups" to my mom.

Creating a new Slack workspace is my new "get a new domain"

What platform did you switch from Spotify to? How's it going?

"Explore the state-of-the-art features of our entertainment system."

@sarahedo.bsky.social saw this at the Berlin library and thought of you!

Raphael was the guitar hero of the @beyondtellerrand.com jam session! There's something fun — and challenging! — about pulling decades' worth of music out of your head on the fly. It was so much fun; looking forward to seeing some photos and videos from the jam session.

Things are about to get crazy in Berlin at Beyond Tellerrand.

Off to Berlin for Beyond Tellerrand! First time flying with my bass, and I was able to fit my pedalboard into my suitcase 😂

My last-minute costume idea: a Costco order.

HEY HEY, the Design Tokens Specification is stable! This is absolutely phenomenal news for the design system community and the technology industry in general. www.w3.org/community/de...

So long, car. You were a...car. We got this second car when my mother-in-law had emergency cancer surgery and we needed more mobility. It served its purpose, but I'm glad to see it go.

I signed up for “Web Components Demystified” by @scottjehl.com and I can't wait to dig in. This week you can get it for 25$, which is an absolute steal, using the code OCT25-26. webcomponentsdemystified.thinkific.com/courses/web-...

Tuning into Figma's Schema, but I have a question: what the heck is a "design system"?

I'm so incredibly pumped for @beyondtellerrand.com! It's always the sweet spot between practical and inspirational. Hope to see you there! beyondtellerrand.com/events/berli...

@remysharp.com Found a picture of you and some butt cheeks painted on the wall.

Found a photo of a slide from my first-ever conference talk.

Reply with a picture of your last dumb phone.

Hey, have a great weekend everybody! Hope you're able to unwind and do something enjoyable.

Really digging what @bradfrost.com is doing with his podcast. It’s that awesome thing that I had no idea I needed. wakeupexcited.show

But seriously, what songs should me, @ian-frost.bsky.social , and the @beyondtellerrand.com attendees cover? We're taking requests!

🔥 I talk to the one and only Rebecca Garza Bortman on Wake Up Excited! When you click on the YouTube play icon, you're interacting with her work 🤪 We have a wide-ranging conversation about family, storytelling, creativity, play, exuberance, and a whole lot more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFEv...

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Wake Up Excited!: The Power of Exuberance with Rebecca Garza-Bortman. Have a listen:

I'm so excited to host a jam session at the @beyondtellerrand.com Berlin after party! Anyone can play & sing with me and @ian-frost.bsky.social. It'll be pretty loose, but we also want to come prepared to play some some songs. Sooooo WHAT SONGS SHOULD WE PLAY?

I've never really done video for anything before, so I tried out a couple of different intros for this while I was trying to figure out how to do all this in the first place. But, I dunno.

I've had a few questions from folks who want to know a little more about the course before snagging a seat, and a lot of this information is buried in newsletters and blog posts—I thought a video might be a quick way of getting it all in one easily-digested place: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXt6...

WAY TO GO, PEOPLE! Thanks to people ordering our courses, we were able to $1,224.80 to the Philippine Red Cross to help with earthquake relief efforts. Unfortunately, ongoing earthquakes continue to rock the area. You can help the relief efforts here: redcross.org.ph/ways-to-dona...

Happy to let you know that we can add 10 more seats for the sold-out #btconf workshop with Ian and @bradfrost.com. All info and tickets here: beyondtellerrand.com/events/berli...

This email exchange is one of my favorite testimonials from our Subatomic Design Tokens Course. Most people are already working with design systems & design tokens, which is why our course is designed to take people from Good to Great. We'd love it if you checked it out! designtokenscourse.com

Made a short doc about a man in LA who still makes neon signs. He calls it “the lost and found art.” Check out the full thing on YouTube: youtu.be/SSNfDodj674?...
