  • Happy Birthday to Me

    —

    in ,

    I’m not one to go around telling people it’s my birthday, which is why this post is coming 40 minutes after my birthday (unless you’re on the west coast). It was a fun experiment to see if anyone would say anything. My number one suspect for getting the word out: Facebook. At around 4 p.m.…

  • Rock Beats Skin

    It’s spring break and I haven’t been on my computer much as I’m in Mammoth Lakes, California, visiting my brother, Matt. I’ve been snowboarding, bouldering, rock climbing, and also just hanging out and doing nothing, and sleeping! My brother has been totally impressing me with his climbing skills. When I arrived last weekend, he was…

  • Spring Break!

    Spring break! Spring break! Who would have thought that at 32 I’d be chanting those two words. But thank goodness for it, because I definitely need a break. While I haven’t been stressed out in the same way I was last semester (probably because I kind of feel like I know what I’m doing, maybe,…

  • Climbing Photos

    I finally uploaded all the climbing photos I took while visiting my brother Matt in Mammoth Lakes, California. We went rope climbing at the gorge in Bishop, and bouldering at the Happies in Bishop. We climbed with his wife, Ericka, who is also a rock star climber, and their dog Zoey, who is quite a…

  • Back from Cali

    I spent the past 10 days before the semester began visiting my brother, Matt, and his wife, Ericka, and their dog, Zoey, in Mammoth Lakes, California. They didn’t have an Internet connection, so I had to rely on a local coffee shop, which provided free wireless—a beautiful concept. However, I only checked my email every…

  • Visiting Brother in California

    in

    Tomorrow I’m heading to Mammoth Lakes, California, to visit my brother Matt and his wife Ericka. Although Matt moved to California six years ago, this is the first time I am visiting. It’s also the first time I’m visiting California. One reason it has taken me so long is Mammoth is in the middle of…

  • Happy New Year

    —

    in ,

    New year’s eve means parties. And parties often entail meeting new people and telling them what you do. So I got a lot of practice on new year’s eve telling people what interaction design is. It’s still difficult to do. I usually start off just telling people I study design and hope that don’t ask…

  • 2006 Rewind

    in

    Earlier today I was at a brunch party where a guy clapped his hands together and then clenched his fists as if being filled with power. He did this while expressing his enthusiasm for the new year. “I believe in new year’s,” he said. “It’s the only day that celebrates the passage of time.” Although…

  • First Semester Over

    The part of my brain that??????s been constantly analyzing my schedule and managing my time, planning what I need to do next and how long I??????ll have to do it, does not now know what to do. I turned in my final assignment, a process book for my digital music device project, today at 3:30…
