  • Design Thinking Hiatus

    —

    in

    Obviously, I have not been writing much recently. There are a number of reasons for this. First, I needed a break from all the design thinking to remember how to function with the rest of the humans. It seems they don’t often talk about design or know what I’m talking about. Second, I’ve had a…

  • 4×4 Things About Me

    —

    in

    I was tagged by Dan Saffer to continue a meme (noun: an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture) of four lists of four things about me, which provides a break from writing yet another post about design! I’ve never been tagged to continue a meme before. It’s…

  • Design School 2007,
    Me in 2008, and a Blizzard

    Happy new year +3! What follows is my experience in 2007 as a graduate student and the opportunities it afforded me, as well as what I will be doing in 2008. Finally, I mention the blizzard that is about to hit Mammoth Lakes, California, where I currently am. Design School and 2007 Two thousand and…

  • Scrambling up a mountain and hauling my poop

    —

    in

    Alone, I scrambled to the top of Mt. Whitney, by way of the mountaineers route, a gully filled with terrible scree and no discernible path. Winded by the altitude and encumbered by a headache either caused by lack of oxygen or dehydration, I arrived at a notch a few hundred feet from the top. I…

  • Back from Baltimore

    —

    in ,

    I flew back from Baltimore today after day long days with a client. On the plane I read half of Everyware by Adam Greenfield, which I’m finding quite intriguing. I found myself highlighting lots of text and using post-its jot to down ideas and bookmark pages for potential blog topics. Also, I kept putting ubiquitous…

  • Pit Stop in Pittsburgh

    in

    I left San Francisco for Baltimore Sunday morning for some client meetings early this week. However, Baltimore was backed up, so we landed in Pittsburgh to refuel and wait. After a half hour we were back in the air. It was kind of funny to spend 30 minutes at Pittsburgh International Airport, about a half…

  • San Francisco

    in

    I’m back in San Francisco after a week of kicking it in the mountains with my bro. On Sunday I drove back through Yosemite—mighty gorgeous—and arrived in gloomy, cloudy, and chilly San Fran that afternoon. I immediately went to check out an apartment in Inner Richmond. I was really hoping it would pan out as…

  • Made it to Cali

    in

    After a bit of a mix-up, I made it to San Francisco this morning. On Sunday, I went at the airport for my 10 am flight. I entered my flight info at the check-in kiosk only to find out that my flight was not Sunday May 20, but Sunday May 27. It had been booked…

  • Busy and Blog Broke

    —

    in ,

    The end of the semester sucked up all my time. And while that was going on, my comments got corrupted. When I tried fixing that late one night (or early one morning, depending on your perspective), I only succeeded in breaking the site more so that I could not access the admin section. Hence, no…
